Faleh Al-Sagheer, chairman of the Islamic and Judicial Committee, has said the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, or Haia, has filed an application with the Ministry of Finance for the fiscal year 1435/1436 to establish jobs for women.

The chairman was responding to a number of observations submitted by Shoura Council members during recent sessions. He asserted that the Haia recently started to accept new appointments for university graduates with high grades. All new members before assuming their field work must complete the diploma apprenticeship training to understand the nature of fieldwork.

Speaking on the issue of establishing guidance offices at shopping centers and markets, he said: “There currently is a request in this regard in place but not binding. Haia has established a number of platforms for the promotion of virtue, including its ‘Shumoukh Campaign’ to combat extortion.”

Meanwhile, the Shoura Council approved a recommendation demanding the affirmation of a previous decision made five years ago to develop a curriculum included in the guideline for fieldworkers defining the preventions and bans that require the intervention of Haia members to avoid any personal judgments and discretions which might have negative outcomes.

This recommendation was adopted by the council following a speech by Shoura member Abdullah Al-Sadoun in which he demanded establishing a list of prohibitions, asserting that there are more than 7 million expatriates residing in the Kingdom with different religions and traditions who might exercise their worships inside their rooms and lodgings. When a dispute emerges with one of the roommates, one of the parties reports the other to the authorities, he added, demanding that intervention in the personal issues of the people should be banned.

The Islamic and Judicial Committee previously rejected this recommendation, saying that the general presidency of the commission formed an action team to develop a guideline on the prohibitions and its controls, and the draft was sent to a number of specialists for review before being approved.
