The Ignorance of Some Workers in the Committee for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the men working in the Committee for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice are ignorant people who get angry and resort to using sticks at the slightest mistake. They exploit the authority granted to them, and often get angry for their own sake many times just because a person made a mistake. Usually, it is ignorance that needs teaching or correction. Many young people today look at the Committees for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice as a direct punishment body. We hope that every effort is made to appoint people of knowledge to these positions and to educate them constantly.
Answer:
Efforts are being made in this regard, and the rulers, may Allah reward them with good, are paying attention to this these days. We ask Allah to make it easy for the Committee to have strong, knowledgeable, and understanding men, and to support those who are already there and reward them with good. Currently, weakness is prevalent, and the original, proper application is rare today. May Allah have mercy on the situation. The point is that weakness has become widespread, but we ask Allah to make it easy for strong young men and strong, zealous men to be of benefit, and to manage affairs with wisdom, good speech, and gentleness. Yes.
