What is the position regarding the noble verse, "O you who have believed, upon you is [the responsibility for] yourselves," in light of the spread of insulting religion, sins, and immodesty, and the danger of enjoining good in some countries?

The interpretation of the verse: "You are responsible for yourselves. No harm will come to you from those who go astray if you are guided" (5:105) is explained in two prophetic traditions. The first, narrated by Abu Umayyah al-Sha'bani, clarifies that the verse applies when evil prevails and people become corrupt, or when one is unable to effect change and fears harm. In such situations, a person should focus on their own self and leave the general populace. The second tradition, narrated by Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, emphasizes that this verse does not mean abandoning enjoining good and forbidding evil. Rather, if people see an oppressor and do not restrain him, Allah will afflict them all with punishment. Scholars have unanimously agreed that enjoining good and forbidding evil with the hand and tongue is according to one's capability, and the obligation is waived in cases of inability or fear of harm. However, mere verbal abuse does not negate the obligation to enjoin good and forbid evil.
