HAIL — Sheikh Abdullatif Al-Asheikh, chairman of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia) has expressed his wish to employ women in the commission. He said female hands are required for the commission’s fieldwork. “Making use of women’s services in the Haia is under consideration though a number of commission members are against it,” he told Al-Watan newspaper. “There are gatherings where only women are allowed and this is why we are thinking of employing them,” he said.
