They were approved by Parliament. One of them instructs "to dismiss from State service whoever is proved guilty by a court to have carried out any terrorist act, whether directly, or as an instigator, or by intervention, or as a partner, or providing any material or moral assistance to terrorist groups in any way."

al-Hafiz Ibn al-Qayyim on  Tazkiyat al-Nufus   *** The noble  faqih , one of the masters of the science of  Hadith  in Sham al-Hafiz Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote the following: تزكية النفوس مسلم إلى الرسل وإنما بعثهم الله لهذه التزكية وولاهم إياها وجعلها على أيديهم دعوة وتعليما وبيانا وإرشادا لا خلقا ولا إلهاما فهم المبعوثون لعلاج نفوس الأمم قال الله تعالى: {هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ} [ الجمعة: 2 ] وقال تعالى: {كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولاً مِنْكُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَا لَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْلَمُونَ فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِي وَلا تَكْفُرُونِ} [ البقرة: 151 ]…  وتزكية النفوس: أصعب من علاج الأبدان وأشد فمن زكى نفسه بالرياضة والمجاهدة والخلوة التي لم يجىء بها الرسل فهو كالمريض الذي يعالج
