New Delhi: During the hearing in the Supreme Court in the Hijab Ban case, the attitude of the Muslim side suddenly changed. During the hearing, the Muslim side raised questions on the competence of the Supreme Court itself. On behalf of the Muslim side, it has been submitted that the court, being not proficient enough in Arabic, is not able to interpret the Qur'an. The court argued that instead of determining the necessity of the hijab for Islam by interpreting the Quran, the court should treat the hijab as an individual woman's right. Women can choose hijab to protect their privacy, dignity and identity. 

Let us inform you that during the hearing in the apex court on Monday, the Muslim side said that the court does not have any expertise, so they should not have gone into the interpretation of the Quran. During this hearing, this new argument was presented on behalf of the Muslim side. Earlier it was argued that the hijab is mandatory for Islam. Actually, after this argument, an attempt was made on behalf of the court to know how Hijab became mandatory in Islam. This question was asked by the bench of Justice Hemant Gupta and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia to Mohammad Nizamuddin Pasha, the counsel for the petitioner named Fatma Bushra.

At the same time, Yusuf Muchla, the lawyer for the Muslim side, said in the court that, 'Privacy means autonomy of body and mind. When a Muslim woman wants to wear a hijab, it is her choice to feel empowered and at the same time protect her dignity and privacy. If a woman feels that wearing a hijab is appropriate, she should follow it. It is not the job of the courts to say this. The Karnataka High Court used an interpretation of the Qur'an, which is objectionable, to give a ruling on the necessity of the hijab.

Yusuf Muchhala argued in the court that 'Amritdhari' Sikh girls also wear a turban and their right to wear it in an educational institution should be protected as much as Muslim girls wearing hijab. We are concerned with individual rights. Whether hijab is mandatory for Islam is not a question in these benches of petitions. Muchhala said that I do not want the court to investigate the necessity of the hijab for Islam.
