[KavkazUzel] The ban on hijab is unacceptable under Islamic law, and it is recommended to remove the niqab in educational institutions, said the imam-khatib of the central mosque of Nalchik Murad Ulbashev. Outside educational institutions, the niqab can be worn, he emphasized in a sermon published by the Muftiate of Kabardino-Balkaria. As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Vladislav Davankov proposed to give educational institutions the right to ban the wearing of religious clothing, as well as to empower legislative and municipal assemblies to impose a ban on wearing religious clothing in public places. State Duma deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Mikhail Matveyev and Sergei Obukhov also prepared a bill that proposes introducing fines for wearing clothing that conceals the face in public places. The Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus appealed to the President of Russia and the State Duma with a request not to adopt Davankov's bill banning religious clothing. The muftis of the North Caucasus stated that this decision violates the rights of believers. Commentators on the social network supported their appeal, noting that Davankov's initiative has already caused a split in society . Wearing the niqab is a custom and 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. The sermon of the imam-khatib ( and mam-khatib is the one who leads the joint prayer and conducts the Friday sermon, and also has the art of oral speech and can influence the thoughts and feelings of the mosque parishioners, as stated on the website of the Russian Muslim Spiritual Directorate, - note of the "Caucasian Knot" ) Murad Ulbashev in the central mosque of Nalchik on the topic: "The issue of wearing the niqab" was brought to the attention of "Gazeta Yuga". The imam stated that there are disagreements among scholars on the issue of niqab. "The Spiritual Administration of our republic also adheres to this opinion, and a person has the right to choose for himself. The only thing I would like to say about niqab is to quote the words of scholars who refute the nonsense that some people are now saying - like, niqab is not a Shariah prescription, but an Arab tradition," his words are quoted in the publication's Telegram channel. Ulbashev pointed out the inadmissibility of banning the hijab in educational institutions. "Therefore, the muftis of the North Caucasus made an appeal to the president of the country to prevent such laws. Therefore, the recommendation in nature, the request of the spiritual administration, is that our sisters do not wear the niqab in educational institutions until the issue with the hijab is resolved. Outside the educational institution - please. But specifically, when they enter there, the request is that the sisters do not wear the niqab," follows from the video, which was published on the page of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kabardino-Balkaria. Ulbashev also reminded about the rules of wearing the hijab. "The hijab must be worn as prescribed by Sharia. <...> Previously, only Arab women wore it. Now, unfortunately, among our local sisters, you can see that they wear the hijab and wear pants. Pants with a hijab are not a hijab. Or they wear tight clothes," he added.
