Azari Jahromi’s Meaningful Reaction to Women’s Attire at Eid al-Fitr Prayer

Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, the former Minister of Communications, wrote on his Telegram channel

This photo was taken without any calculation from the northernmost lines of the Tehran Musalla. I counted sixteen people in this photo who were not wearing black chadors. I even saw a few people without chadors, wearing mantles and scarves, praying. I also saw some fold their chadors after the prayer and put them in their bags. It reminded me of Mr. Ansarian’s words: these people’s hearts are with God.

The leader also stated that in a society, there are different tastes, beliefs, and perspectives on issues, which is not a problem. Everyone can live and work together. I saw the embodiment of these words in the lines in front of me during the prayer: white chadors, black chadors, mantles, and scarves. This is society, where different tastes and beliefs come together.

So what is our duty now? Send text messages, take photos, smash yogurt containers on each other’s heads? Cultural issues develop slowly, and solving cultural problems also happens gradually. Cultural issues cannot be resolved through force and non-cultural confrontations.
