Muslims condemn the statement of Mufti Alyautdinov for supporting niqabs
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Muslims responded to a statement by the Mufti of Moscow Ildar Alyautdinov, who supported wearing the niqab in Russia. In an article on the Islam portal. news author Aidar Bariev pointed out that the niqab has nothing to do with religion, but makes it difficult to identify a person, which is necessary to ensure public safety.

Earlier, Alyautdinov said that the Spiritual Administration of Muslims (DUM) of Russia is ready to support the ban on wearing the niqab if the connection of this item of women's clothing with extremism is proven.

“The niqab has nothing to do with the religion of Islam at all and therefore is outside the framework of Sharia. This is simply a folk custom in a number of southern countries. Moreover, among nomadic peoples in the desert, men also use the niqab to protect themselves from fine sand - the Tuaregs, for example. This custom in itself does not contradict Islamic ethics; it is neutral,” the material says.

It is noted that the niqab can be used for good or harm - it depends on the environment, practical aspects of life and goals. The article recalled that today all over the world, and in Muslim countries too, the public security system is based on the need to identify a person’s identity - this is the only way to prevent a terrorist from getting on a plane, a train, a concert hall, a supermarket, where a terrorist attack causes huge casualties and suffering.

“There is no desert in central Russia, hot sand doesn’t fly into anyone’s face: why cover your face tightly, not making it possible to establish the identity of a person going to crowded places? Law enforcement agencies will stop a Muslim woman wearing a niqab at every step, and she will still need to show her face in order to compare it with her passport photo,” the comment says.

Earlier, the head of the Human Rights Council under the President of Russia, Valery Fadeev, proposed banning in Russia the wearing of the niqab, a traditional Muslim women's headdress that leaves only the eyes open. Fadeev explained that this forced measure is designed to reduce the risks of extremism.

In October, a Regnum news agency source reported that investigators decided to check a woman from a rally in support of Palestine in Moscow, who compared those gathered to “infidels.” An unknown woman, dressed in a niqab, expressed dissatisfaction that other participants came “half naked and half naked.” They tried to calm the woman down, but to no avail. According to investigators, she committed public actions aimed at inciting hostility, as well as humiliating the dignity of a group of people based on their attitude to religion.

In March, the rector of the St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral in New York, Archpriest Igor Vyzhanov, held a memorial service in his church for those killed in the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall. He noted that he perceives the tragedy at Crocus City Hall with particular pain, since he is a resident of Moscow and his house is located next to the site of the terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk. In 2000, he survived a terrorist attack in an underground passage at the Pushkinskaya metro station.
