Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. The questioner says: If I see a woman uncovered in the market, what is the correct way to advise her? And if I disapprove in my heart but do not disapprove with my tongue, am I sinful? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
You will not be able to, in the market where they are uncovering their faces, to stop each one individually. But if there is general preaching and general reminding, or if you inform those who have authority over the market to address this issue, then do that. As for stopping every woman, the women are many and the exposure is widespread. But you should engage in general preaching and reminding, or inform those who have authority over the market so they address this issue. Yes.
