The Taliban say their leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, has instructed clerics and members of the group to apply his decrees to themselves before presenting them to the public.
He also stressed the importance of resolving internal disputes and ensuring clerics and officials adhere to organisational regulations.
Hamidullah Fitrat, the Taliban’s deputy spokesperson, said on Wednesday that a two-day seminar for officials, members and clerics from Sharia councils across the country had been held in Kandahar.
According to the Taliban statement, Akhundzada told participants that responsibility for guiding the public now rested with clerics and that they were expected to lead society in accordance with Sharia principles.
He urged Taliban members to avoid internal disagreements and to prioritise resolving people’s problems. He also instructed clerics to explain religious rulings and their significance to the public.
Addressing the gathering, Akhundzada reportedly said clerics and officials were expected to serve as role models for ordinary people and to promote reform within society and government. He told them that they must first implement the decrees in their own lives so that the public could follow their example.
