The Yobe State Hisbah Commission has released a firm public notice banning activities deemed contrary to Sharia law, with special emphasis on festive periods.
This announcement targets behaviors that could undermine Islamic values during high-spirited events.
The statement, dated December 31, 2025, explicitly warns against “reckless movement in vehicles” during weddings or Sallah celebrations. It also prohibits “physical interaction between men and women” in cars, motorcycles, or public gatherings.
The Commission cautions against “private conversations between men and women under the guise of chatting,” especially those not approved by Sharia principles.
These rules aim to prevent casual mingling that violates religious norms.
The directive originates from the office of State Commander Dr. Muhammad Yawudi Kale. It carries the approval of Commission Chairman Dr. Yahuza Hamza Abubakar, lending it full authority.
The Hisbah urges parents and community members to actively support enforcement of these guidelines.
This collective responsibility helps maintain order and adherence during social events.
Hisba officials stress that these measures are designed “to safeguard the moral upbringing of children.”By curbing inappropriate behaviors, the Commission seeks to foster a righteous environment for the youth.
This notice is inline with the Commission’s mission to regulate public behavior in line with Sharia principles.
It particularly focuses on celebrations and social gatherings where lapses are more likely.
As festive seasons approach, residents are reminded to prioritize Sharia-compliant conduct.
The Hisbah emphasizes prevention over punishment to preserve community harmony.
