Hosein Mozafari, the Friday prayer leader in Qazvin, said at a ceremony titled “The Splendor of Fatimah’s Chastity”: “In the face of centers that, in a planned manner, are looking to promote shamelessness and immodesty in society, we must confront them in a reasonable way and not allow the people to be steered, through deception and pressure, toward what we consider to be wrong.”

Mozafari continued: “If our girls and women become aware of the words and actions of the enemies from behind the veil, they will not be influenced by them and will preserve their hijab and chastity.”

The Friday prayer leader in Qazvin added: “A society in which chastity and hijab become less prominent will face harms such as a reduction in psychological peace, the weakening of the family, the spread of divorce, an increase in single-parent families, and problems in the upbringing of children.”
