Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There are black symbols on some trucks. Is it permissible for me to remove them by force, out of fear that shirk (associating partners with Allah) will spread?
Answer:
You do not remove them by force unless you have authority. If you are a member of the authority, then you remove them by force because you have authority. But if you do not have authority, then you suffice with admonition and reminding. If they comply, fine; otherwise, you report them to the authority. The authority has authorization and has a statement from the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta. There is a statement from the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta regarding the removal of these false beliefs. Yes.
