Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family, Companions, and those who follow his guidance!
And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance
corruption and grave consequences. Censorship in these matters does not prove successful. It is well known that prevention is to be given priority over treatment and it is obligatory to block the pretexts leading to corruption and eliminate what leads to it. What has happened to other communities may set an example for us, as mentioned above. The radio and TV must also be purified from all what contradicts the purified Shari`ah or leads to the corruption of morals and families.
It is evident then that it is obligatory upon the officials to prevent the employment of women in other than their milieus, whether they are Saudi or others; efficient men can replace women in the fields of men. The only pretext of employing women in the field of men's work is to pattern after those who we are forbidden to follow, i.e. the enemies of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) or to aim at corrupting the society that must be preserved and protected from corruption.
And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves
Help you one another in Al­Birr and At­Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment.
By Al­' Asr (the time). Verily, man is in loss, Except those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al­Ma'ruf) which Allâh has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al­Munkar which Allâh has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allâh's Cause during preaching His religion of Islâmic Monotheism or Jihâd).
We ask Allah to grant success to our government and officials to all that pleases Him and implies goodness for His slaves. May Allah set aright the affairs of all Muslims, grant them understanding of His religion, and help our scholars and writers to hold fast to, preserve persistently, and call to His religion with sure knowledge! May He protect us all from the tempting trials and the Satan ways! He is the One able to do so. May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
