Question:
If a specific sin becomes widespread, such as shaving the beard or letting the garment hang below the ankles, he asks: Is it obligatory for me to forbid every person I see?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. If you are able, forbid what you are able to forbid. Advise the one who is in error privately, between you and him, so that perhaps Allah may guide him. Yes.
