“Why We Treat The Poor And The Rich Differently”- Hisbah
- The Hisbah police recently came under criticism for allegedly turning a blind eye to some acts committed by the rich
The Kano Hisbah Board has explained it’s reasons for treating the rich and poor differently when executing some of its rules.
Aliyu Kibiya a director of the Islamic police gave the explanation while featuring on a Freedom radio programme.
Kibiya said it is against the tenets of Islam to publicly criticize a leader. He said;
“Although we call on everybody in the society to do the right thing, but we make the call on case by case basis.
“It is against the tenets of Islam to mount the podium and call out leaders. There are ways to caution a leader without criticizing him in public.”
The Hisbah police recently came under criticism for allegedly turning a blind eye to some acts committed by the rich but wouldn’t hesitate to punish young men from poor homes with stylish haircuts, in addition to banning mannequins at fashion shops.
