#AtheistRepublic
The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
Recently, Islamic scholars and seminarians from many religious schools in Iran are challenging the authority and legitimacy of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's leadership due to the crimes committed by his regime. In a statement released on September 30th, an anonymous collective from seminary schools in Qom, Mashhad, and Tehran, the country's holiest cities, claimed that "none of the influential officials and people with a platform are mujtahids and do not have a seminary education." A mujtahid is considered an authoritative Islamic scholar whose interpretations of jurisprudence are accepted as original and valid by contemporaries. It is one of the highest levels of Islamic scholarship and a prerequisite for the position of "Supreme Leader" as dictated by the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The group also clarified that they are breaking their silence over the ongoing violent crackdown on protesters. They consider it their "religious and moral duty to inform the rulers and the nation" of their opinion. Despite being a legal requirement to wear a hijab in Iran, the group of clerics and their students clarified that "the compulsion to observe hijab has no Shariah reason."
