124: Continue to order good and forbid evil, unless you fear the sword

Ordering good and forbidding the evil is an obligation [1], except if you fear the sword or rod of a person.


NOTES

[1] The one ordering the good and forbidding the evil must have the required knowledge, otherwise he may cause more harm than good and he will only succeed in causing a greater evil, which is forbidden.
