Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
“Dancing is makruh in principle, but if it is done in the western manner or in imitation of the non-Muslim women, then it becomes haram, because the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Moreover it sometimes leads to fitnah, because the dancer may be a young, beautiful woman, so the other women are tempted. Even if she is among other women, the other women may do things that indicate that they are tempted by her. And whatever is a cause of fitnah is not allowed.” (Liqa al-Bab al-Maftuh, q. 1085)
And he said:
“With regard to dancing on the part of women, it is an evil action and we cannot say that it is permissible, because we have heard of incidents that have occurred among women because of it. If it is done by men that is even worse, because that is men imitating women, and the evil involved is well known. If dancing is done among a mixed group of men and women, as some of the foolish do, that is even worse because of the mixing and great fitnah involved, especially when that is done at a wedding party.” (Fatawa Islamiyyah, 3/187)

Sa’īd ibn al-Musayyib said:
Don’t call your Muslim companion with the name: donkey, dog or pig.
Because it will be said to you on the Day of Judgment (by Allāh): Do you believe I created a dog, a donkey or a pig?!

قال الإمام ابن باز رحمه الله :
« واجب الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر ، هذا قد ضعف الناس فيه كثيراً ، وقلَّ المهتمون به كثيراً في هذا العصر ، فالواجب على أهل العلم والإيمان أن يهتموا بهذا الواجب العظيم الذي جعل الله فيه لهذه الأمة الحظ الأوفر . »
[ الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر لابن تيمية تعليقات ابن بار (٩) ]
Imam Ibn Baz رحمه الله said:
The people have become very weak regarding the commandment of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil. Those who pay attention to and give concern to it are very few at this time. Therefore, it is incumbent (a responsibility) upon the people of knowledge and faith to give care and devote themselves to fulfilling this tremendous obligation, thereby in which Allāh has allotted this nation an immense portion of good.

The impact of women.
Umar b. Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said,
"By Allāh, no man has benefited - after embracing Islam - more than having a beautiful, fertile, kind and loving woman of good character.
By Allāh, no man has been caused more harm - after associating partners with Allāh - worse than an ill-mannered, sharp-tongued woman.
By Allāh, among them, there is a young boy who is nurtured and a treasure that can not be compared."
