Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Wearing the niqab is a custom, not an obligation for Muslim women, the Muftiate of Kabardino-Balkaria stated after the idea of banning niqabs was supported by the Muslim administrations of Dagestan and Karachay-Cherkessia.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, a temporary ban on wearing niqabs has been introduced in Dagestan; it is in effect until a new theological conclusion, the republic's muftiate announced on July 3. The following day, the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Karachay-Cherkessia also introduced a temporary ban on wearing niqabs in the republic.
The fatwa of the Dagestan Muftiate on the ban on the niqab is not mandatory, it will be followed only by those for whom the muftiate is an authority, and this is far from all residents of the republic, religious scholars interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" indicated. The opinions of experts on whether the fatwa of the Dagestan Muftiate will be implemented are collected by the "Caucasian Knot" in the reference " Fatwa on the ban on the niqab - a law or a recommendation? "
The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kabardino-Balkaria published its position regarding wearing niqabs today on its Telegram channel, citing the opinions of Islamic scholars.
"The majority of scholars believe that the awrah (awrah or awrat is the part of the body that Muslims are obliged to cover in front of other people. - Ed. "Caucasian Knot") of a free woman is her entire body, except for her face and hands. Wearing a niqab by a woman is not an obligatory Shariah prescription. All Egyptian Fatwa Houses adhere to this opinion. As for the niqab, in many societies wearing it is a custom, and not a Shariah obligation. The clothes that people wear are often more associated with folk customs and traditions, and not with religious prescriptions," the publication says.
The Muftiate publication provides examples of such opinions. "The Hanafi scholar al-Quduri notes in Mukhtasar al-Quduri: "The entire body of a free woman is awrah except her face, hands and feet" (p. 26)... The Maliki scholar Imam ad-Dardir writes in Ash-Sharh al-Kabir: "The entire body of a free woman is awrah in front of a stranger except her face and hands" (vol. 1, p. 214).
Imam ad-Dasuqi explains in Hashiya ala ash-Sharh al-Kabir: "It is disgraceful for a woman to cover her face with a niqab, as this is considered excessive, unless this is the custom in their country (locality). “Because this is not required by the great Sunnah” (vol. 1, p. 218). The Shafi’i scholar Sheikh-ul-Islam Zakariya al-Ansari notes in “Asna al-Matalib”: “The awrah of a free woman in prayer and in front of a stranger includes the entire body, except for the face and hands” (vol. 1, p. 174),” the publication says.
In the "Documents of Organizations" section of the "Caucasian Knot" an " Explanation from the Fatwa Department of the Muftiate of Dagestan regarding the ban on niqabs " was published.
Let us recall that wearing the niqab and burqa in modern conditions causes practical harm to Muslims and threatens discord in interreligious and interethnic relations, the Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus stated on July 3.
On July 1, the Mufti of Dagestan, Akhmad-Afandi Abdullayev, announced a fatwa banning the niqab. This happened after the head of the region, Sergei Melikov, spoke out against wearing niqabs following attacks by militants in Derbent and Makhachkala. The Dagestan Muslim Spiritual Directorate, as a religious organization, can issue a fatwa banning the niqab, but this is only a recommendation, and violators of it face a maximum of censure, Islamic scholars noted.
