Tajikistan's parliament recently passed a law prohibiting hijabs and other traditional Islamic clothing, categorizing them as "alien garments." The law imposes significant fines for violations, reflecting the government's stance on promoting traditional Tajik attire and cultural practices. This legislative move has sparked debates within Tajikistan's predominantly Muslim population and has a historical context dating back to earlier restrictions on Islamic attire in public institutions since 2007.
