The Clown Prince of Chechnya speaks.
[Regnum] On July 31, at a meeting with the government of the republic,the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, spoke out against wearing the burqa.
Kadyrov published a video recording with fragments of the meeting on his Telegram channel.
"We are against the burqa, which covers the face. We are against this," said the head of Chechnya.
At the same time, Kadyrov criticized those demanding a ban on the hijab and called them his personal enemies.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 3, the Muftiate of Dagestan temporarily banned the wearing of niqabs in the region. The ban will remain in effect until the identified threats are eliminated and a new theological opinion is issued.
The Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus noted that in Russia, under modern conditions, wearing the niqab, burqa and other headdresses that conceal the face is harmful to Muslims and also threatens discord in interreligious and interethnic relations.
The Supreme Mufti of Russia and Chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims Talgat Tadzhuddin previously stated that the majority of Russian Muslims do not have an obligation for women to cover their faces and hands. According to him, the Muslims of the North Caucasus are an exception, but this issue can be resolved by law in connection with the terrorist threat and ensuring state security. The Mufti recalled that there was no niqab in the country for 14 centuries.
