The views and opinions expressed in here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
On January 2nd, Aziz Rahman, the head of the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in the city of Herat, ordered all shopkeepers to cut down the heads of mannequins as idolatry is considered haram, or “forbidden,” according to Sharia law. The initial plan was to remove the mannequins altogether, but many shopkeepers complained that such action would damage their businesses. Ultimately, it was decided to keep the mannequins, but get rid of their heads. Business owner, Abdul Wadood Faiz Zada, stated that the mannequins cost somewhere between $70 and $100. He thought that covering the heads would have been a better solution than cutting them off. The Ministry countered such an idea by stating, “If they just cover the head or hide the entire mannequin, the angel of Allah will not enter their shop or house and bless them.”
