37:56Now PlayingTajikistan, a predominantly Muslim country, has taken a controversial stance by passing a law banning the hijab and certain Islamic holiday celebrations, despite 96% of its population identifying as Muslim. President Emomali Rahmon approved the bill, which labels the hijab an "alien garment" and imposes hefty fines on offenders. The legislation, aimed at promoting a secular national identity, also prohibits the practice of "Idi," where children seek money during Islamic festivals. Sulaiman Davlatzoda, Head of the Religion Committee, justified the ban on "Idi" as a measure to ensure "proper education and ensuring their safety during Ramadan and Eid al-Adha." This move has sparked international criticism, with Corey Saylor of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) stating, "Banning the hijab is a violation of religious freedom, and such bans on religious attire should have no place in any nation that respects the rights of its people." The ban reflects a growing trend among some Muslim-majority countries in Central Asia and Eastern Europe to restrict Islamic garments in public spaces, contrasting sharply with countries like Iran and Afghanistan that mandate hijab use.
