He emphasised that Hisbah’s soft strategy in changing people’s behaviour was making tremendous progress as there were no reports of people deliberately refusing to fast during the ongoing Ramadan.
Ibn Sina reiterated that street begging remained banned in Kano as anyone found engaging in it would face necessary sanctions.
