Question:
If a student of knowledge enters the markets and finds various types of evil, is he required to forbid it? And if he says, "I forbid it with my heart,"
Answer:
he should not go to markets where there is evil unless he is able to forbid it. As for if he is not able to forbid it, he does not go to them. He goes to the pure markets that have no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and no evil, and he does not go to the markets that have fitnah and evil unless he intends to forbid it and intends to work to remove the evil.
