Q: Please advise on the following:
A Muslim optometrist is having a problem with unqualified people smuggling fake designer frames into the country. These people send their customers to professional optometrists for eye tests and they ask for a script. Then they have their glasses made at a reduced cost by the "pirate" dealer.
Is it Islamically correct to have these types of crooks reported to the authorities? Some are Muslims and some are Non-Muslims.
