Denying Evil in the Villages and the Spread of Video Films

Question:
Is enjoining good and forbidding evil limited to the major cities only? If the answer is the opposite, why do the authorities know that video is operating in all the cafes and restaurants along the Riyadh-Taif road, where obscene films that arouse lust are shown, including scenes of a man kissing a woman and throwing her onto the bed, and this happens in al-Ruwaydah, Halban, al-Mawbah, and Dhalimah?

Answer:
Denying evil is required in every place; it must be denied in every place. The committees are present in most every village and town, but we ask Allah to strengthen them. These films bring about things through hidden means. The wicked film is filmed by its criminal owners in every place; they film it and do it among themselves, in their homes, and in hidden establishments. If the people of hisbah (religious police) knew about them, they would deny them. The state has deployed soldiers for this to deny it, but when the door was opened, this matter became difficult. There is no way to deny it completely except to prevent the entire matter completely. Otherwise, as long as it exists, they will resort to finding every wicked film and will do whatever they can of harm. This is because those with sick souls and those who commit open sinfulness are not satisfied except with their sinfulness and their wicked desires in every place, not in this era or any other. Therefore, a strong, preventing hand is necessary to block the doors. We ask Allah to guide the state to what blocks the door and eradicates evils through the Shari'ah methods that block the doors of evil. Otherwise, there is no doubt that video has great evil and major corruption due to the wicked films that come from here and there, from Egypt, from France, from Malawi, and so on. And there are things some people make, then film, then sell through hidden means. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
