Advice to Those Who Call for Evil and Women's Liberation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the Shaykh, the father, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Baz, many questions have been on the minds of many of the attendees and of those who are zealous for the religion of Allah the Exalted. They ask Your Eminence (may Allah preserve you) to direct a word of advice to those who write or speak, calling people to the open commission of evil, or calling women to, or calling women to their liberation and their going out against their father's will, and other such calls to unveiling and tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment). They write and say this. So is there a word for these people? And is there a word for the preachers regarding their position on this matter?

Answer:
It is obligatory to warn these people from this speech.
The one who calls for evil bears the same sins as those who follow him,داعي إلى شر عليه مثل آثام من تبعه،
We ask Allah for safety. So it is obligatory to be cautious, it is obligatory to prevent these people. And so it is in the newspapers. It has been reported to the responsible authorities to prevent the publication of these people's words in the newspapers, and that this is not permissible at all, neither from the side of the rulers nor from the side of the Minister of Information. These people must be prevented. And what is required in such a matter has been done. We ask Allah to make the means beneficial, we ask Allah to make the means beneficial.
