Makarem Shirazi emphasized that preserving the hijab should not be accompanied by violence.
In a meeting with the commander of the police force in Qom, Makarem Shirazi stated that preserving the hijab should not be accompanied by violence, as it would provide excuses for enemies and opponents.
The police force is obligated to deal severely with those who disrupt public order and commit crimes, while also being tasked with showing kindness, mercy, and observing Islamic etiquette. Striking a balance between these two tasks will not be easy.
Preserving the hijab is obligatory, but on the other hand, this should not be done through violence, as it would provide excuses for enemies and opponents.
Enemies are trying to tarnish the image of Qom by corrupting its youth with drugs and other moral vices, which doubles your responsibility because harming Qom is harming the center of Shia Islam.
