About the Book

The Issue of Ḥijāb is one of the most rigorous, nuanced, and intellectually honest treatments of Islamic modesty ever written. In this seminal work, the late Iranian scholar-philosopher Murtaḍā Muṭahharī goes beyond slogans and polemics to examine ḥijāb through history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and Qur'anic ethics.

Rather than reducing ḥijāb to mere dress code or cultural custom, Muṭahharī situates it within Islam's broader moral vision: the protection of human dignity, the strengthening of family life, social stability, and the ethical ordering of relations between men and women. Drawing on comparative history, he demonstrates that veiling and seclusion existed long before Islam-among Persians, Jews, Indians, and other civilizations-while carefully distinguishing Islamic ḥijāb from pre-Islamic and non-Islamic practices.

The book directly confronts modern objections: freedom, gender equality, social participation, insecurity, patriarchy, jealousy, and claims of women's oppression. With clarity and intellectual courage, Muṭahharī dismantles simplistic narratives and offers a principled Islamic framework that neither imprisons women nor dissolves moral boundaries.
