What Does Hijab Mean in the Virtual World?
The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)
Although the virtual world is virtual, it has real effects and consequences, and it should not lead us to be lax about sensitive matters. The presence of Satan in this space is a serious concern, and its dangers should not be underestimated. Inappropriate images and speech are more widespread here; this space has become a major arena for Satan’s victories.
Answer by Master Ali Saei (Abdullah Meshkat)
Teacher and researcher in the intellectual tradition of wisdom and the Ahl al-Bayt | Soroush Bamdadān Cultural CenterThe fact that these spaces are virtual does not limit people’s spiritual connections. Indeed, when physical presence is restricted, there is a risk that simply being present in virtual spaces may intensify connections that transcend the physical. The presence of Satan in virtual spaces must be taken seriously.
Calling virtual spaces “virtual” does not make them any less real. Their effects and consequences are real, not virtual. Moreover, the veil of virtuality can make people more lax in their conduct and less careful about sensitive and important matters. It can also embolden some corrupt individuals, which is why the sharing of obscene and prohibited images and unconventional speech is more widespread there. Virtual spaces are a field of conquest for the devils, and their dangers must be taken seriously.
