On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, 'Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith." (Muslim)

A question answered by Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid regarding: “ There is a hadith, whoever sees a wrong must stop it by hand, etc and another: leave alone what does not concern you. would you clarify what to stop and what to leave alone. if i c someone doing immoral things in Saudi Arabia, like dating, etc. do i go and tell them not to while i know they probably wont listen, or do i just report it to some authority?”

Ibn Taymiyyah said: \”This (enjoining good and forbidding evil) is a duty that the entire Ummah is obliged to fulfil. It is what the Ulama know as an obligation of collective responsibility, if a group in society undertook to discharge it, the other members of this society are absolved from it. The entire Ummah is commissioned to undertake it, but if a group therein was responsible for discharging it, the rest of society is no longer obliged to undertake it.\”

A book translated into English in which the author Imam Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) discusses the difference between advising and condemning. It is an extremely important topic faces a very common behavior nowadays. It confirms that the scholars' behavior is to advise and accept the truth from one another, away from condemning. We will recognize the importance of this book when we find some scholars refute weak opinions of other scholars from the past. They are quickly accused of hating those scholars of the past but the fact is that they advise the Muslim nation and warn them against a wrong opinion. We hope that these matters become clear to the reader and make him able to distinguish between advising and condemning.
