They dictate religious rulings, shaping followers' lives in various aspects, from personal choices to matters as grave as criminal punishments for perceived sins. Unfortunately, many of these figures lack moral integrity and often harbor desires for power, wealth, and control. Their hearts may be tainted with hatred and rage, and they frequently exhibit hypocrisy.
