A Call to Expatriates Regarding the Hijab

Question:
We ask Your Eminence to issue a call to the expatriates who go out into the streets uncovered, wearing clothes that expose them, and naked. It costs you nothing but an announcement on the radio or television urging these uncovered women, and those who go out with them in Islamic dress are exposing themselves to punishment. You are accountable before Allah for removing this obscenity that is broken or felt.

Answer:
This is undoubtedly important, and much has been written and great research has been done regarding it. We ask Allah to grant the authorities success in attending to this matter, because writings and speech do not come on their own; they require a strict order from the state and from the bodies known for enjoining good and forbidding evil, so that the order is implemented, if Allah wills, for everyone. However, there is no harm in repeating the message on the radio and in the press, as it may benefit the ignorant who think they are on the right path. We ask Allah to forgive your names. Good.
