Abstract

Hijab Law Approach
Women's hijab means the body's luster, especially the hair-covering of the head against the alien viewer, is a challenging issue in the modern age. Books, treatises and many articles about it are written in jurisprudential, legal, and sociological dimensions. Experts have come up with a number of different perspectives around it. Governments also apply different but controversial policies. In some countries, such as France, according to the principle of laity, banning hijab in government offices, schools and universities is prohibited. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, hijab is considered a crime in public administrations and public gatherings. Some countries have refused to legislate on hijab and considered it a personal thing. These countries consider their citizens to be veil or non-woven. This paper will examine and assess the different legal approaches regarding the issue of hijab in the three sections of the Hijab Prohibition, Optional Hijab, and Hijab Obligations.
