Does the presence of the committees for enjoining good and forbidding evil in these lands absolve us of the obligation to forbid evil?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the presence of the committees for enjoining good and forbidding evil fulfill the collective obligation (fard kifayah) in this country, such that others do not sin when they see evils and do not forbid them?

Answer:
One’s responsibility is not absolved merely by the existence of the committee. It is necessary to cooperate with them. We cooperate with the committee, we inform them of incidents and events, we cooperate with them, and we support them. We do not leave them alone in the field. Yes.
