Ayatollah Sistani's answer to a question about the ruling of "mandatory veiling" in the schools of one of the Islamic countries

Ayatollah Sistani, the head of the Shia Taqlid, answered a question about the ruling of "mandatory veiling" in the schools of one of the Islamic countries.

Grand Ayatollah Sistani, in response to a poll on the Shari'a ruling of abandoning the hijab in schools in Islamic countries in case of coercion and severe harm or hardship, emphasized that if accepting this compulsion has extensive negative consequences such as damage to the cultural identity of the society and intensifying the authorities' efforts to erase Islamic traditions, the mere existence of personal necessity to abandon the hijab is not enough and these consequences should also be considered.

The text of the question and answer published on the Arabic website of Marja Al Qadr is as follows:

If in one of the Islamic countries, the wearing of uniforms is made compulsory in girls' schools, and if veiled students are prevented from entering schools, and if veiled teachers are not allowed to appear in the school and teach wearing a veil, in such a way that this prohibition causes significant damage or severe hardship to them, what is the Sharia ruling?

Is the verdict of these people the same as the Muslim women who face the prohibition of hijab in schools in non-Islamic countries? That is, they should maintain their religious hijab as much as possible; For example, should they cover most of their hair with a hat, and by wearing a high-necked dress, should they completely cover their necks up to the chin, and should they abandon the hijab only to the extent necessary?

Is their ruling the same or is there a difference?

If giving in to the compulsion to abandon the hijab has negative and widespread consequences for the society, the mere existence of personal necessity to accept this compulsion is not enough; Especially if this action causes serious damage to the cultural identity of the society and causes the authorities to become bolder and continue their actions in trying to destroy the Islamic traditions of the society. Therefore, these social consequences must also be considered. Al-Mushtaki's governor

The question: If according to Al-Zi al-Mohad in the girls' schools in one of the Islamic countries, then I forbid the entry of female students wearing the hijab to them, just as I forbid the entry of female teachers wearing the hijab and their practice of teaching, because it is harmful to the person who does it, is a serious embarrassment, so will the ruling similar to those in non-Islamic countries be enforced against them if the hijab is prohibited in the schools, that is, against them the Islamic hijab as much as possible - the most important caste of the head of the poem with a cap, for example, a vest The neck is all the way to the chin, wear a long-necked blouse - and don't leave it except to the extent that we need it. Is this Ho Hakmehan or Yakhtalf Amma Zikr?

Al-Jawb: There is no limit to the necessity of the person in the case of a corrupt order, which is a severe form of the obligation to leave the hijab, which is to harm the cultural identity of the community and the authority's efforts to damage the Islamic tradition, so I must take this into account.
