A seminary teacher: Insulting and clashing with unveiled women is religiously forbidden
Asghar Nazemzadeh Qomi stated in a declaration that no man or woman, under the claim of religious zeal, has the right to insult sinners, including unveiled and loosely veiled women, or to engage in conflict and altercations. Such behaviors are religiously forbidden.
According to him, this issue is specified in the Law on Supporting Promoters of Virtue.
He also described unveiling as a form of protest and said that when people witness an unstable and shaky economy, experience rising prices, discrimination, and embezzlement, or see political narrow-mindedness and the exclusion of competent forces, they distance themselves from religious symbols — including the veil — and express their dissent through indifference or rebellion against these symbols.
Mr. Nazemzadeh Qomi also criticized the government’s double standards regarding unveiled women, stating that our officials, on one hand, consider unveiling and improper veiling as social disorders and confront them, but on the other hand, they encourage loosely veiled and improperly veiled participants in demonstrations or events related to the Islamic Republic.
