Hijab: Is That An Essential Religious Practice? Discussion With Regarding To Karnataka High Court Decision On Hijab Ban. (By- Imrankhan)
“Let
there be no compulsion in religion. The right course has become clear from the
wrong. So whoever disbelieves in taught and believes in Allah has grasped the
most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. Allah is all hearing and all
knowing” Qur’an (2:256).
Compulsion
is good. Compulsion is necessary. Compulsion is mandatory within religion so as
to keep one in right path. This verse ask not to compel anyone to embrace the
religion. But it also didn’t prohibit one from compelling someone to do necessary
acts by the religion. Similar to parents and children relationship. But
socially if compulsion is not healthy for people let them do as per their wish.
We don’t have any right to compel a student not to wear hijab. Let them do as
per their wish.
