“Since its founder King Abdul Aziz, our government has made the security and safety of society its top priority and concern so that all members of society would live in peace and move freely without fear for themselves, properties or families,” he said in a statement Friday.
The mufti noted that no society in the world was free from crime but that the Kingdom was blessed with strong security officials who spend sleepless nights preserving the security of the country and the lives and properties of its people.
“No doubt that the police force is undertaking an important task ensuring the safety of citizens and expatriates and safeguarding their resources and properties from theft and aggressions,” he said.
Al-Asheikh said in the light of this, the policemen deserve praise, support and encouragement. “It is the duty of citizens and expatriates to facilitate their task and cooperate with them to uncover criminals.”
The mufti prayed to Allah to bless the efforts of the security forces and empower them to fight crimes and protect the homeland against the machinations of those trying to undermine its safety and security.
He expressed special thanks and appreciations for Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Interior Prince Naif for his keenness about the safety and security of the country and for providing the police with all the resources they need to carry out their duties.
