Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Drug users, when they want to use them, hide from people in the wilderness or in deserted places far from view, fearing they will be caught. Is it permissible to spy on them and expose them?
Answer:
Look at the harm they cause to the Muslims. Their harm is not limited to themselves; rather, their harm spreads to the Muslims through promoting narcotics and corrupting the Muslims and the children of the Muslims. These people must be pursued, and reports must be filed about them, so that the Muslims are safe from their harm and their corruption is put an end to. Yes.
