Hawzah News Agency- Ayatollah Mohammad Yaqoubi, one of the seminary professors, has mentioned in a note:

On the 1st of Rabi al-Thani 1438 Hijri (corresponding to 31-12-2016), a day of the year should be named (the day of Hijab and Chastity) and this human and heavenly behavior will be the source of perfection and prosperity of the individual, society and nation.

The birth anniversary of Lady Zainab (PBUH), the daughter of Amirul Momineen and Lady Fatima Zahra, peace be upon them, on the fifth day of Jumadi al-Awwal, should be chosen as this title, a character who displayed chastity and hijab in the best way, while in the worst and most difficult conditions and persecution. After the martyrdom of her noble brother Imam Hussain, peace be upon him, she was placed in the ceremony of Obaidullah and Yazid.

They should have programs and activities to introduce this ethical and valuable behavior and its blessed effects in their activities, which have great and wonderful effects in individual and social life, because it is included in a narration of Amirul Momineen, peace be upon him, that (Hijab is the head of all that is good) and (The best worship is Hijab and chastity) in the sense that chastity is the basis of every good, and the most virtuous act of worship is considered hijab and chastity.

Chastity is not only for women, and it is not only about their clothing, and it is not only about the interaction of both genders, men and women, rather chastity has a wide meaning, which includes chastity in acquiring money, chastity of hands, chastity of tongue, chastity of eyes and so on. Therefore, the activities aimed at promoting and advertising this occasion should not be limited so that its true meaning and scope are not deviated.
