The answer

The personal problems of young people are too great for scholars alone to solve, as they are the responsibility of governments, the youth, and their guardians. Their cause may be a distance from Allah. It is the duty of scholars to point out deficiencies, enjoin what is good, and forbid what is evil. There is no contradiction between solving the problems of youth and directing them to work for the religion, and to expend wealth and self, for the Muslim's ultimate goal is the pleasure of Allah.
