Question:
He works in a police station, and at the end of the week, many intoxicated people are brought to him. He says: When I report to the officials, they say there are matters more important than this, and they order me to release them. Is it permissible for me to flog them in the station and then release them?
Answer:
There is no harm in you reporting on these officials who say to release them. Report on them to those who are responsible for them. Report on these negligent officials and do not let them play with this matter. There are officials above them, there are governors, there are ministers, there are directors above them. Report on them and do not let these soldiers play with people. Yes.
