Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the removal of the hijab and the exposure of the face has spread among Muslim girls in markets, cars, and parks during this time. This was not present among us until recently. What is the obligation of the Muslim, the student of knowledge, and the guardian of the woman?
Answer:
And [the obligation is] preaching, reminding, and explaining in sermons, lectures, and lessons. It is also obligatory for the people of hisbah (those who enforce public order) who patrol the markets to observe these matters and address them in an appropriate manner. It is not permissible to remain silent about this, neither by the scholars nor by those to whom the matter of hisbah is entrusted. Everyone must do what they are able to do: the scholars explain, and the men of hisbah also do what is obligatory for them in addressing these matters. It must not be left alone, nor should there be laxity in its regard. Yes.
