Is it obligatory for me to advise my neighbor's wife, whose husband has passed away, to stop allowing non-mahram men into her home?

The questioner: O Shaykh, if you please, there is a man who has a neighbor.
The Shaykh: He has a neighbor.
The questioner: The neighbor passed away, leaving behind a woman. This woman’s conduct is not good; she allows men who are not mahram to her into her home. So, what is the neighbor’s obligation toward her, even though if someone speaks to her, she might accuse him of any crime or any charge?

The Shaykh: It is the strength of his faith
He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.
مَن رأى منكم منكرًا فليغيِّره بيده ، فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه ، فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه ؛ وذلك أضعف الإيمانThe questioner: ... with the tongue every day.
The Shaykh: So he knows himself, yes.
The questioner: A man who prays every day and travels every day on a daily journey.
