[KavkazUzel] A woman whose niqab a man tried to remove due to a temporary ban by the muftiate has filed a police report, the lawyer reported. There are opponents of wearing the niqab in Dagestan, but such aggressive actions have not happened before, the journalists noted.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", social media users in Dagestan were outraged by a video of an aggressive passerby in Makhachkala attacking a woman in a niqab. The man motivated his attempts to remove her niqab by the muftiate's ban on this type of religious clothing.
Statements by representatives of the Islamic clergy on the issue of the fatwa on the niqab have sparked a debate about the presence of "radical" mosques in Dagestan and, on the contrary, those loyal to the muftiate. Disputes have also arisen about whether the ban is mandatory or advisory in nature. The "Caucasian Knot" reference " Fatwa on the ban on the niqab - a law or a recommendation " contains expert opinions on whether the ban of the Dagestan muftiate will be enforced.
Lawyer Davud Aliyev advises a girl in a niqab to contact the police due to the aggressive reaction of a man in Makhachkala.
"No one has the right to lynch law based on any convictions. Police officers are obliged to react immediately and stop illegal actions regardless of whether there is a statement or not. Employees of the executive branch must assess what happened and hold the perpetrator accountable. I recommend that the girl file a statement with the police, I remind you that we live in a state governed by the rule of law, our rights and obligations are protected by the Constitution of Russia," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to him, the man's behavior allowed the human dignity of a woman in a niqab to be humiliated.
"The qualification of the action is the prerogative of state bodies. If the girl committed any offense, she must answer within the framework of the current legislation. As for the qualification, this is Article 20.3.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation "Incitement of hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity." The punishment may be a fine of ten to twenty thousand rubles or arrest for up to fifteen days," he said.
Lawyer Aza Aliyeva told the "Caucasian Knot" that the woman in the niqab filed a complaint with the police.
"I represented Raisat's interests. We wrote a statement to almost all law enforcement agencies, but we did not receive any procedural action or even a response. We did not even receive a formal reply," she told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Dagestani journalist Milrad Fatullaev does not believe that the discussion of proposals to ban the wearing of the niqab in Russia is fueling aggressive sentiments against those who wear this clothing. "I haven't really noticed anything like that. My feeling is that about 30 percent of the population of Dagestan is against the niqab, about the same number is for it, and the rest are quite indifferent. As for the video itself, it seems to me that it looks more like some kind of provocation, including against the muftiate," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
If this is not a deliberate provocation, then we can say that this is just a rare manifestation of aggression.
According to him, even the temporary ban on wearing niqabs, introduced by the muftiate, does not provoke aggressive actions against women who wear them.
"This did not become a reason for aggression against women in niqab. If this is not a deliberate provocation, then we can say that this is simply a rare manifestation of aggression. But it still seems to me that this was done by some opponents of the muftiate. They need such a fuss the most," he noted.
Another Dagestani journalist, who wished to remain anonymous, believes that the discussion of proposals to ban the wearing of the niqab is fueling aggressive sentiment against those who wear this clothing in non-Muslim regions of Russia, but not in Dagestan.
"Such discussions fuel aggressive sentiment. We can look at the problem in two dimensions - in the all-Russian dimension and the Caucasus dimension. It is clear that in the first case, religious clothing associated with Islam causes irritation and conflict. Therefore, when a girl in a niqab walks through Moscow or St. Petersburg, she, of course, causes aggression among the local population. As for the Caucasus and Dagestan, in particular, there is no such widespread aggression here. Yes, there is a significant percentage of the population that is against wearing the niqab, but there is no aggressive display on their part," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
In his opinion, the introduction of a temporary ban on wearing niqabs by the muftiate was provoked not so much by society as by the authorities.
"Because there is an understanding that this is an action coordinated with the federal center, therefore entire campaigns to ban wearing can come from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan. For example, they can detain girls in niqabs, check their documents, register them, and so on. But there was no aggression from the general population. The incident in Makhachkala is a one-time scandal," he said.
Recall that after the militant attacks in Dagestan, the issue of banning the wearing of religious clothing was raised in the republics of the North Caucasus. On July 3, the Muftiate of the republic introduced a temporary ban on wearing niqabs, which is valid until a new theological opinion. The publication of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan on the search for a militant in a niqab on August 9 looks dubious against the backdrop of the unfolding campaign against religious clothing, social network users noted.
