Allahabad High Court rules hijab is not mandatory in Islam
The Allahabad High Court has rejected a plea that requested permission for a female student to wear a hijab while in her school uniform. The court noted that wearing a headscarf is not a core requirement of the religion. The bench stated that high courts have consistently held that wearing a headscarf is not an essential practice of the Islamic faith for women, and that failing to wear one does not compromise the religion.
