Hijab Ban- Karnataka High Court Full Bench Hearing (Day 10)- LIVE UPDATES

Dar : During the prophet's time, this is a religion having 2 billion people, we are proud to be Indians, when the prophet was spreading Islam, one of the community from Indonesia, which was a Hindu country, said we will accept provided we can keep our Kundan.

Dar : Sura Ghashiyah, Sura Izra

Justice Dixit : Where in the petition you have mentioned? We want to note.

Dar reads a para.

Justice Dixit: Which is the Sura we should note.

CJ: We tried to understand you but we could not. We want to note the relevant Sura.

Dar : I will give.

Dar addresses Justice Khazi : Your ladyship will be in a position to understand.

We have two essential religious practices. Number one to receive education, next is covering the head.

Dar cites verses in Arabic.

Dar : We are all sons of Indian soil. We are living in a country governed by rule of law. This (Hijab) is sacred for us. It is not by fashion that we are asking the women to wear it, it is mandatory in Quran. Quran has said cover your sisters and daughters.

Dar: These are vulnerable parts so there is no attack by unrighteous people and their eyes stay away. Wearing of hijab is a command from the Allah.

Dar: You have to cover head, face and chest to protect modesty and protect all Muslim values. We are not saying we will go in burqa to school. We are covering only the head, face and chest. These are vulnerable parts so that there is no attraction

Dar: I will not mislead the court. I will try to apprise on the quran. Whatever I submit is based on the commandment of Allah.

Dar: Hijab word is not there in Quran: The terms refers to partition, in the literal meaning it is some kind of partition. Hijab is mandatory. Even the wives of prophet would wear it. I will read the suras. I may be permitted to recite from Quran
