Article 8: In the Islamic Republic of Iran, inviting one to good, the promotion of virtue and the prohibition of vice, is a general and concomitant responsibility of the people toward one another, the government toward the people, and the people toward the government. The conditions, boundaries, and nature of this relationship are set by the law. According to the Qur’an: “The believers, men and women, are protectors, one of another: they promote virtue, and prohibit vice” (9: 71).
