Ahmad Ghabel

Ahmad Ghabel

Ahmad Ghabel (also spelt "Ahmad Qabel") is an Iranian theologian seminary lecturer, researcher and author.

He is currently working on a project entitled "wisdom and religion". Due to his ideas, he was imprisoned in Iran and he is now in exile in Tajikistan.

Ahmad Qabel has issued a fatwa about hijab or covering head and neck by Muslim women. He argues that only covering the body of Muslim women is obligatory, and covering other parts of the body like hair and neck are recommended.

In January 2002, the International press watchdog Reporters Sans Frontieres (Reporters Without Borders) and the Association of Iranian Journalists Abroad (AIJA) protested to Iranian authorities the arrest of Ahmad Qabel, a nationalist-islamist activist working for the pro-reform newspaper "Hayat No".
