Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Holy Scriptures in Islam do not require women to cover their faces. Wearing niqabs is a new tradition in Russia, the mufti of the Volgograd region, Bata Kifah Mohammad, told the online publication Volgograd News.RU.
“The niqab is not obligatory in Islam. Women must wear a hijab, which means covering their heads but leaving their faces uncovered. I personally oppose wearing the niqab,” he said.

The Mufti emphasized that even during the pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca and walking around the main Muslim temple of the Kaaba, women are not required to cover their faces. It is usually hidden by supporters of radical views. Considering that Russia is conducting a military special operation in Ukraine, security issues should come first, the cleric added.
At the same time, the mufti is not sure that it is necessary to legally prohibit the wearing of niqabs. But if such a ban is introduced, it will affect only a few, he emphasized.
On May 21, the head of the Human Rights Council under the President of Russia, Valery Fadeev, proposed banning the wearing of the niqab in the country. He called this a forced measure aimed at reducing the risks of extremism, and noted that he wanted to discuss this with representatives of traditional Islam and regional authorities.
Author of the Islam portal. news Aidar Bariev said on May 26 that wearing a niqab has nothing to do with Islam and Sharia law does not establish this norm. He explained that this custom is accepted in southern countries, and it is not connected with religious beliefs, but with the fact that residents have to shield themselves from the fine desert sand.
