The chief Shia mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan confirmed that "in the midst of the battle to restore the state's foundational capacity that Lebanon is experiencing, there must be a thorough correction of the state's economy and the public sector's functions, without relying on social equivalence in the tax system and financial projections based on the principle that those who benefited more should bear more, and those who can afford more should bear more." He pointed out in a statement that "this urgently requires restoring the role of banks after resolving the issue of restructuring them and ensuring the people's deposits, which cannot be subject to ambiguity. All of this requires closing the outlets of corruption and public waste, preventing bribery and theft, and protecting public facilities from those who manage them, alongside rescuing the civil service and ensuring comprehensive and effective oversight while suppressing the corrupt political hand." He concluded by emphasizing that "it is essential to rescue the finances of the health system and social security because the citizen is breathing his last due to full dollarization and deadly selfishness amidst healthcare entities that treat patients as customers, far from the sanctity and essence of the profession. Perhaps the functional rescue of the state will open the door to presidential rescue in accordance with a comprehensive national agreement."
