Assalamu alaikum - in Dagestan they'll start checking ads for compliance with Sharia norms.
Assalamu alaikum. A little news from our republic - on October 16 the Expert Council on Advertising met at the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service for Dagestan, and the head of the Expert Council at the Muftiate of Dagestan, Abdulmagomed Magomedov, took part.
They talked about introducing additional criteria for evaluating advertising materials - compliance with Sharia norms and the Dagestani mentality. It's a kind of special approach for Russia: combining federal legal requirements with our spiritual and moral values, inshaAllah.
Abdulmagomed Magomedov said the Muftiate is ready to carry out extensive explanatory work not only with people but also with advertisers:
“It’s important that advertising in our region respects traditions, moral foundations and spiritual values. We will explain this in mosques and through the Muftiate’s official channels,” he noted.
Following the meeting they approved the composition of the expert group - it includes lawyers, marketers, public figures and representatives of the clergy. They also adopted regulations that explain how the expert review will be conducted and what to do if violations are found.
Special attention was paid to the ethics of advertising on the internet and social networks; they discussed mechanisms for rapid control and the legal aspects of online advertising.
Overall, a new socio-spiritual approach to advertising is taking shape in Dagestan, where compliance with the law is combined with respect for traditions and the dignity of the individual. May Allah guide us for the good of society.
