Judging unveiled women as less moral is forbidden in Islam: Egypt’s Al-Azhar

 

CAIRO – 10 January 2021: It is impermissible in Islam to judge that women without veil are less moral, said the Egyptian Al-Azhar Fatwa Global Center, saying “detracting from morals of unveiled women is religiously forbidden.” 

 

The veil of women is obligatory in Islam and a woman's modesty is a virtue that was called by all divine religions, the center said.

 

The veil of women does not represent an obstacle against those women to achieve their success or their self-fulfillments, the center added in a statement on Saturday.
