The modern state neither allows nor prohibits and does not oppose the existence of a temple and a nightclub • Newspaper Al Marsad

Newspaper Al-Marsad: The writer, Turki Al-Hamad, believed that the “modern state” should make the law its only reference and not interfere with “halal and forbidden” and allow the existence of a nightclub and a temple without check who goes to either of them.

Al-Hamad stated in a series of tweets via his Twitter account: “The modern state, and I repeat” modern “, as an institution that encompasses all segments of society, is not analyzed or prohibited according to a specific religious or moral reference. , and it has no religious character as its function is to impose the organized law of the relations between these segments, therefore allowing or preventing is in accordance with the law, which ultimately aims at realizing justice according to its content among the members of society, thus obtaining social security and peace.

Al-Hamad went on to say: “The questions of halal and haram, or what is lawful and not lawful, are left to the conscience of the individual and his religious and moral reference, or his customs and traditions, or to transfer the value of reference in general, and the state has no revenue in all this. The state, and according to the applicable law, does not oppose, for example, the existence of the temple and the nightclub, but it does not interfere with your visit this or keep you far from that.

Al-Hamd concluded by saying: “Do not force yourself or prevent yourself. This is an issue dependent on values ​​that the individual adopts according to a certain reference, and he has no right to impose them on everyone, as long as there is a law within which everyone they move, and this is the separation of discourse in my opinion, ”he said.
