Treating the Spread of Evil and Strengthening the Authority for Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The Authority for Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil makes great efforts, but the field is larger than its capabilities, and it faces severe difficulty from the perpetrators of evil. This has led to the spread of harassment, such as drivers kissing women and the like, which is unbearable and intolerable. So what is the solution, Your Eminence the Shaykh, to curb corruption?
Answer:
This is what we have studied these days. We and the Authority have looked into it and discussed it, and the matter was raised to the one in authority to increase the number of members of the Authority and to be careful in selecting good and competent people, so that the number of the Authority will be sufficient, if Allah wills, to forbid evil and eliminate corruption, along with the state doing what is required of it in this regard. We ask Allah to grant success to everyone.
