The Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice
(Pashto: د امربالمعروف، نهی عن المنکر او شکایتونو اورېدلو وزارت; Dari: وزارت امر
بالمعروف، نهی عن المنکر وسمع شکایات) is the state agency in charge of
implementing Islamic law in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as defined by the
Taliban. It was first instituted in 1992 by the Rabbani government of the
Islamic State of Afghanistan and adopted in 1996 by the Taliban government of
the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan of 1996–2001. The ministry was restored in
the reinstated Islamic Emirate in September 2021 after the August fall of Kabul.

The flag image at
https://en.wikipedia.org shows a much larger emblem on the plain light blue
background, and the emblem itself is shown there with light grey fill in its
central disc, while Zoltán’s image matches the reported photos with smaller
emblem and its central disc in white.
Both photos are in what seems to be
the same location in the time frame

indoors flag hoisted upside down.
