Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In these days, some newspapers have been aggressive toward the people of hisbah and have tried to eliminate this blessed institution. Among their actions is raising the slogan of abolishing this institution and portraying it as an institution that prevents people’s freedoms. What is the guidance in this matter?
The Shaykh:
The guidance in this is that they are suppressed, and praise be to Allah, and their words are not heeded in this. This is not the first time for them; they have repeatedly attacked the committees and some of them have demanded their abolition. But the rulers, and praise be to Allah, are watching out for them. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And say to them: “Except that you die from your anger.” Yes.
