Maulana Tahir Ashrafi, Chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council, has issued a warning to Pakistani citizens residing in Saudi Arabia regarding social media usage. Ashrafi urged individuals to comply with Saudi laws and avoid sharing sensitive content, including unverified rumors, videos of drone attacks, or footage of Houthi militant activities and interception efforts. He specifically cautioned against posting images of debris from attacks or videos showing security installations and sensitive locations, noting that such actions violate Saudi security instructions.
