Muhtasibs Held Reform Meetings with Traders and Shopkeepers in Five Provinces

As part of their ongoing activities and in accordance with the Ministry’s directives, Muhtasibs held reform meetings with traders and shopkeepers in the capital, Kabul, as well as in Herat, Ghor, Daikundi and Sar-e Pol provinces. 
The meetings aimed to establish a sound economic system, regulate market prices, eliminate expired products, prevent usury, hoarding and cheating in weighing and measuring, and ensure that quality products are supplied to the market.
During these reform meetings, Muhtasibs emphasized that traders and shopkeepers should observe Divine guidance in their daily commercial activities and refrain from all prohibited practices, including usury, hoarding and shortchanging in weights and measures.
It is worth mentioning that, since the commencement of their activities in this regard, Muhtasibs have destroyed thousands of tonnes of expired and substandard food and non-food products across the country. These efforts have brought considerable improvements in preventing un-Islamic practices in markets.
