The law has four chapters and 35 articles, Barakatullah Rasouli, a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice, said on X.

He said that the law regulates the affairs of the Ministry of Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice and duties and powers of Muhtasibs (inspectors).

The law calls for advising people softly, avoiding revelation of private sins and avoiding violation of privacy except in cases allowed by Sharia.

The law calls for Muhtasibs to prevent vices such as adultery, gambling, holding animal fights, misusing radio cassette player, using and dealing with drugs, hijablessness, refusing to offer prayer and to fast, shaving beard or trimming it smaller than a handful, cutting hair against Sharia, and making friends with infidels or assisting them.

According to the law, if a person commits a vice, they shall be advised, warned, be imprisoned from one hour up to three days, or any other punishment deemed suitable by the Muhtasib.

Muhtasibs are also required to advise against publishing pictures of living creatures with stories.

They are also required to prevent preparing and watching of pictures and videos of living creatures on computers, mobile phones and other devices.

The law states that it is necessary for women to cover their entire body and that covering of face is also necessary due to moral corruption.

UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan and head of UNAMA, Roza Otunbayeva, is expected to brief the UN Security Council on the situation in Afghanistan on Wednesday after UNAMA released its quarterly report Tuesday.

Tanja Fajon, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, will preside over the meeting.

UNAMA’s latest report, which includes information gathered after the last report dated June 13, states that security incidents have increased against the same period last year; restrictions on women have increased, and almost more than 24 million people still need humanitarian aid.

The Islamic Emirate, meanwhile, expects that the reality of Afghanistan should be reflected in Otunbayeva’s report.

IEA has already asked UNAMA many times to reflect on the realities of Afghanistan in its reports and to refrain from exaggerating small issues.

Otunbayeva stated in her last report that by August 30 of this year, only 24.9 percent of the $2.9 billion dollars required for aid to Afghanistan had been provided.
