Moreover, the society held programs and built partnerships with some members of the government sector, including the General Presidency of the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, the Public Security, the Directorate General of the Border Guards, and the Ministry of Health and Community Services). It also held many Ramadan competitions on social media, and promoted more than 300 designs on the jurisprudence of Hesbah, its key figures, and the relevant laws and regulations.
