Hizb ut-Tahrir in a press statement condemns the destruction of markets such as Al-Dukhinat market as a fight against people's livelihoods*
*As a result of the absence of the Islamic State, the Caliphate
In a brutal and violent act, the local authorities of Jabal Awliya in Khartoum State, through heavily armed soldiers on Thursday morning, June 12, 2025, removed the Al-Dukhinat market located on the Jabal Awliya road with bulldozers, and smashed display tables, and even those who fled the market with their goods were not spared!
Al-Dukhinat market is one of the old markets, and it expanded after the closure of all local markets and most of the Khartoum markets due to the war, so it became a haven for people from the area, who are civilians and non-military personnel, to shop for food, vegetables, and food. It is one of the markets where stolen goods are not sold, so the market expanded, and prices decreased due to the abundance of supply in it, and food became affordable, and excellent job opportunities became available for the people of the area after this accursed war, which disrupted businesses and stopped jobs. Because of this destruction, prices have risen dramatically, as a result of the disappearance of supply, which has increased people's misery.
What the locality and its forces did; of violence, cruelty, and brutality in dealing, was condemned by the people of the area, and most of them were surprised, and asked; Isn't it time for the government to abandon its old methods as a collection state that antagonizes the people who it must care for according to Sharia? And where were these forces when the Rapid Support Forces violated honors and plundered money?! Are these forces to protect people or to oppress and humiliate them?! If the market narrows the road, it can be organized or moved to larger areas, which are available in the area.
Allah Almighty has permitted buying and selling, as He says: ﴿Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury﴾, but usury has been legalized in our markets and selling has been prohibited with pretexts and laws that Allah has not sent down any authority for, and work is obligatory on a capable man to spend on his family, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “It is enough for a man to commit sin to waste away those he feeds,” and the one who is unable to work actually or legally is ordered to the treasury of the Muslims, that is, to the government, so how is it fighting people in their livelihoods?!
It is also not permissible to destroy people's property in the market under any pretext, such as the spread of cholera, or organizing the market, or other things, but the principle of the state is to help people and fulfill the duty of caring for them, and providing security and safety for them, not fighting them and cutting off their livelihoods! Also, the one who works in the market must adhere to the controls of Sharia, in buying, selling, and other permissible works; so he does not sell stolen goods or forbidden things, nor spoiled food, and adheres to preserving the environment and public health, and does not close the road, and does not deal with exorbitant exploitation, nor with deception, fraud and usury, and other prohibited sales.
The government's duty is to take care of people's affairs and monitor markets to organize them, not to prevent people, but to facilitate their affairs in them by buying, selling, and working, and that is according to the command of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: “The Imam who is over the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.” Agreed upon.
What is happening today in the markets is the result of the absence of the Islamic State; the state of care that establishes the rulings of God and applies His Sharia, and the ruler in it is a shepherd for the people, not a collector of their money, so serious work must be done to establish the Rightly Guided Caliphate according to the method of Prophethood, and the allegiance of a Rightly Guided Caliph; who establishes the religion, and applies the Sharia, so this miserable, bitter reality changes. On the authority of al-Arbad ibn Sariya, he said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “For whoever among you lives after me will see much disagreement, so adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, adhere to it and bite on it with your molars.”
