Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your advice for a man who works in the Department of Promoting Virtue and Forbidding Vice and wishes to transfer to another position involving the teaching of knowledge?
Answer:
It is better for him to remain in the department of enjoining good and forbidding evil if he is asking about what is better. This is better if he is asking about what is better. If he is asking about permissibility, it is permissible for him to transfer, but he will miss out on the reward and recompense. Yes.
