What is the method of forbidding evil regarding taxi drivers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the others asks, saying: On the day of the week corresponding to [date], I saw a taxi driver and noted a number here. He was carrying a woman without a mahram (relative one may not marry), and she was in a state of enticing adornment. She is also a citizen. I reported him and warned him, but he did not pay attention to it. What is the obligation of the scholars regarding this?

Answer:
It is obligatory for the scholars, and especially for the Commission, to establish periodic patrols to monitor this community. The Commissions must establish periodic patrols that are more extensive than others in this regard. The Commissions, the measurement of the Commissions, and the decisions of the Commissions are the greatest in this matter. The state assists them in this matter, and we are also ready to cooperate with them in this matter. The remaining scholars are also ready to cooperate with them in this matter. There are cars that patrol the country containing men of seclusion and soldiers with them, monitoring such matters. They watch over those who assist the visible ministries, and the women who are uncovered and naked. And who forbids evil to them regarding the uncovered and naked women. If this is found, this evil is reduced. And it is possible that he can be punished with imprisonment and beating so that he does not return to such a thing. So the result is that this is the obligation of the Commission, and the obligation of the scholars and the people of the country to assist the Commission in that. And it is the obligation of the rulers to assist the Commission in that, and to enable it to perform its duty if it is unable to do something of that. And if there are authorities regarding imprisonment as a disciplinary measure for the perpetrators of evil, we ask Allah to help it in performing its duty.
