[KavkazUzel] Ramzan Kadyrov's words about indefinite leave and possible resignation are not connected with his demand to reconsider the decision to ban the publication of the Sahih al-Bukhari collection, Ruslan Kutaev pointed out. The statement of the head of Chechnya is a game, as a result of which he will get the desired result in any case, Aleksey Malashenko noted.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on September 3, Ramzan Kadyrov said that he had "stayed too long" as the head of Chechnya and was ready to resign. He clarified that he "well deserved an indefinite and long vacation." The Kremlin saw Kadyrov's message about a possible resignation, but this "hasn't materialized yet," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on September 4. "So far we proceed from the fact that he continues to lead the Chechen Republic," he said.

Kadyrov's words about a possible resignation were preceded by his statement made on August 31 in connection with the inclusion of the publication of the collection of sayings of the Prophet Muhammad "Sahih al-Bukhari" in the list of extremist materials. The publication was included by the Ministry of Justice in the list on August 25 by the decision of the Laishevsky District Court of Tatarstan dated December 9, 2021, on July 5 the Supreme Court of Tatarstan approved this decision. Kadyrov demanded to reconsider the decision to include the collection in the list of extremist materials. In his opinion, the court "turned to incompetent expertise", while "Sahih al-Bukhari" is "a reliable source of the biography of the Prophet Muhammad, which Muslim scholars recognize as second in importance after the Holy Quran."
The ban on the publication of "Sahih al-Bukhari" is not so important for Kadyrov as to resign, Alexei Malashenko, an employee of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, author of the book "Ramzan Kadyrov: Russian politician of Caucasian nationality," is sure.
"I do not admit that Kadyrov is ready to resign because of the ban on the book. This is a certain game on his part. He will either get the desired result and the ban will be lifted, or he will improve his image as a defender of the interests of Muslims in Russia, and this is also for it will be the desired result. In the eyes of a multi-million audience of Muslims, the head of Chechnya becomes a hero. And this creates the impression that he is ready to lose everything for the sake of Islamic values," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
In his opinion, the Kremlin, in turn, will not fire Kadyrov either."
After all, Kadyrov is not [former head of Roskosmos Dmitry] Rogozin to get rid of him so easily. His retirement means that the Kremlin fired him and did not give him another position, and this weakens Kadyrov’s position in Chechnya and provides opportunities for his opponents. And this is completely unprofitable for the Kremlin. They want stability in Chechnya. Kadyrov copes with this task very well," explained the Caucasian expert.
On September 3, Ramzan Kadyrov published on his Telegram channel an appeal by Mufti of Chechnya Salakh Mezhiev, in which he stated that "the presidential administration has taken control of this issue" (the ban on the collection "Sahih al-Bukhari"), and "in the near future this the issue will be resolved (...) in a positive direction".
Mufti added that the decision was made thanks to the intervention of Ramzan Kadyrov. In turn, Kadyrov, commenting on the video, expressed gratitude to the president and the presidential administration "for the respectful attitude to the canonical works of authoritative Muslim scientists."
Malashenko does not admit that the ban on Sahih al-Bukhari can be lifted.
"The Kremlin will not make such a decision for the sake of Kadyrov. According to my forecast, now everyone will begin to hush up this topic, stop talking, discussing it. As a result, society will forget about it, because now there are more important problems and tasks. This will be the Kremlin's policy towards this topic," he said.
President of the "Assembly of Peoples of the Caucasus" Ruslan Kutaev also does not believe that the ban on the book is an important enough topic for Kadyrov to announce his possible resignation.
"Kadyrov's words that he stayed too long and may leave, I do not associate with the ban of the book. These two events are not connected with each other. Perhaps they coincided in time, but this is not Kadyrov's demarche because of this topic. Kadyrov usually shows the Middle East, that he is the defender of the interests of Muslims here, but this is not the case," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
In the eyes of the Muslim audience, the statement about the ban on the book does not make Kadyrov a hero, the Caucasian scholar is sure.
"He is for his supporters, for those who consider themselves Kadyrovites, and so he is a hero. But for the rest of the audience, he will never become a hero. That is, there is a clear dividing line: for his own he is already a hero, but for others he will not become a hero, whatever you do," he said.
At the same time, the Mufti of Chechnya, according to him, can make statements on this topic more openly than the head of the region. "Some promises to lift the ban have been made. Lawyers have already appealed the decision. I think the decision will be canceled. And this will be announced as a victory for Russia's Muslims," Kutaev said.
Lawyer Galina Tarasova admitted that the court's decision to ban the book could be overturned. "The decision to recognize it as extremist in the first instance was made by the Laishevsky District Court, and on the basis of the decision of the appellate instance - the Supreme Court of Tatarstan - it entered into force. Cassation in this case is possible in the Sixth Cassation Court of General Jurisdiction in Samara," she told the correspondent of Kavkazsky node".
If the complaint is not satisfied by the court in Samara, then further appeal after the cassation is possible already in the Supreme Court of Russia, the lawyer added.
It should be reminded that on September 3, the Coordinating Center of the Muslims of the North Caucasus proposed expanding the list of religious literature that cannot be classified as extremist materials.
"We consider it necessary to recognize the original commentaries and interpretations of the Koran, collections of hadiths (...) and their comments, as well as generally accepted works of Islamic scholars of four legal schools (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali madhhabs) as not subject to expert evaluation. Muslims consider these works canonical and part of the religion of Islam," the muftis said. They also pointed to the expediency of creating an expert theological council at the federal level for the professional evaluation of religious literature.
In November 2015, Vladimir Putin signed a law that prohibits the recognition of extremist texts of the Bible, Koran, Tanakh and Kanjur. Analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" assumed then that the new law would not affect the law enforcement practice that had developed in the country.
