Abstract: The subject of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil and protecting individuals’ privacy in their personal territory is one of the issues which every now and then has encountered different and sometimes contradictory perspectives. The main reason for this contradiction which is mainly widespread among the public is lack of a clear definition and understanding regarding the border between these two issues. Because of special position of these two issues in social and religious events and increasingly great importance which outstanding sociology and religious scholars have laid on these two issues it is very important and essential to discuss these two issues deeply. In this study, the definitions for each of the aforementioned issues have been put forward and the controversies which exist are scrutinized and discussed in details.
