This book provides an overview of the range of seminarian thinking in Iran on the
controversial topic of the hijab. During the modern period, Iran has suffered a great
deal of conflict and confusion caused by the impact of Western views on the hijab
in the 19th century, Riza Shah Pahlavi's 1936 decree banning Islamic head coverings,
and the imposition of the veil in the wake of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Hijab
addresses the differences of opinion among seminarians on the hijab in the Islamic
Republic of Iran, focusing on three representative thinkers: Murtaza Mutahhari who
held veiling to be compulsory, Ahmad Qabil who argued for the desirability of the
hijab, and Muhsin Kadivar who considers it neither necessary nor desirable. In the
first chapter, the views of these three scholars are contextualized within the framework
known as 'new religious thinking' among the seminarians. Comprehending the hermeneutics
of this new religious thinking is key to appreciating how and why the younger generation
of scholars have offered divergent judgements about the hijab. Following the first
chapter, the book is divided into three parallel sections, each devoted to one of
the three seminarians. These present a chronological approach, and each scholar's
position on the hijab is assessed with reference to historical specificity and their
own general jurisprudential perspective. Extensive examples of the writings of the
three scholars on the hijab are also provided
