‘If not made to wear hijab, women may roam streets naked in summers’: Iran cleric warns

Firstpost  

Mohammad Nabi Mousavifard said that the government should not back down in enforcing the hijab mandate Tehran: An Iranian cleric has asked authorities to ensure every woman wears the hijab before they come out “naked” during summer. “People and social service providers should stop giving services to people without hijab; People should give women with improper hijab warnings and not be indifferent, otherwise they will come to the street naked in the summer,” the cleric added. Imam says less rain result of women without hijab Last month, An Iranian imam blamed women who don’t wear hijab for the lack of rainfall in the country which has in turn triggered a water crisis. Mohammed-Mehdi Hosseini Hamedani, a close aide of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, said that by breaking the mandatory rule of wearing a hijab, women in the Islamic Republic have “caused a lack of precipitation across the country.” The imam further emphasised that all those who don’t wear a headscarf must be confronted by the state.
