The Appointment of Employment Offices and the Obligation of Hijab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My Shaykh, why are employment offices not appointed to those who fear Allah and are mindful of Him, as long as an order has been issued by the Ministry of the Interior not to employ non-Muslims? Why is there no deterrent penalty specified for whoever violates it? And why is hijab not made obligatory for women in the streets of Muslims, in their hospitals, and in their means of transport and media? We ask Allah to grant you assistance.
Answer:
This is what is required. We ask Allah to help them and grant them success. This is what is required of Muslims, but we ask Allah to assist the officials.
The presenter:
In reality.
