Going to places of evil to forbid it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A group of young men going to places of evil to forbid it: is this considered part of forbidding evil, which is the duty of Muslims?

Answer:
Answer: Yes, going there is fine, but one does not forbid evil in the markets unless the one in authority has delegated to him the task of enjoining good and forbidding evil. Those are the ones who perform this. As for others, if they see an evil, they report it to the committee, the head of the committee, or the central office of the committee. They inform the members of the committee about it. As for him, he does not intervene in anything for which he has not been appointed. Yes. But giving advice and reporting is good. Yes.
