The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: Hijab is a law and people must follow it.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court emphasized that hijab is a religious and legal obligation, and in an Islamic society, especially in the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is expected that even those who are not Muslims or do not have a serious commitment to Islamic rules should follow the law, because the law is mandatory for everyone in the country. Montazeri noted that the issue of hijab in the Islamic Republic of Iran is not just a matter of belief and religion but also a legal matter. All citizens, whether they believe in religious principles or not, must adhere to the law.
