| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] The niqab problem is far-fetched for Russia, but its ban in Dagestan and Karachay-Cherkessia will be followed by an attack on the hijab and other attributes of Islam, Islamic scholars interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" are sure. The discussion about the niqab has become a test of society's reaction to a sensitive issue, but it is unlikely to be followed by a ban on the hijab, their colleague objected. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Karachay-Cherkessia (SAM KCR) banned the wearing of niqabs "until the threats are eliminated and a new theological conclusion is reached." The chairman of the presidium of the SAM KCR, Ismail Berdiev, explained the decision by the corresponding resolution of the Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus, which he also heads. |
