[Regnum] Muslims of the Hanafi madhhab do not have an obligation to cover the face and hands of women. This was reported on July 3 by the Supreme Mufti of Russia and Chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia Talgat Tadzhuddin, commenting on the advisability of wearing a niqab.
"We have not had any niqab for 14 centuries. The situation is different in the North Caucasus, where Muslims of the Shafi'i madhhab may consider covering the face obligatory, but, for example, in connection with the terrorist threat and ensuring state security, this problem can be solved by law. At one time, it was obligatory to take a passport photo only with an uncovered head, in recent years they have allowed taking photos in scarves and headdresses. This is solved by law. But Muslims of the Hanafi madhhab have no obligation to cover the face and hands of women," the Telegram channel BRIEF quotes him as saying.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, said on June 29 that wearing niqabs in Russia should be banned. He pointed out that in Asian countries, unlike Russia, such a ban is in effect.
Earlier, presidential adviser and chairman of the Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights Valery Fadeyev proposed banning the wearing of the niqab in Russia to reduce the threat of extremism.
Deputy Mufti of the Republic Abdulla Salimov reported that wearing niqabs in Dagestan is temporarily banned in light of the Fatwa Department's conclusion issued the day before. He reported that the Mufti of Dagestan had decided on a temporary ban "until the identified threats are eliminated and a new theological conclusion is reached."
Salimov explained that one of the grounds was an appeal from the Ministry of National Policy and Religious Affairs of the Republic, which spoke of a threat to the security of the region's population. Another ground was the competent conclusion of the fatwa department, issued on July 2.
Caucasian muftis have ruled that wearing the niqab in the Russian Federation is harmful to Muslims.
The press service of the Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus reported that wearing the niqab harms Muslims and threatens discord in interreligious and interethnic relations.
The author of the portal "Islam News" Aidar Bariyev reported that the niqab is not "Islamic clothing", therefore it is not regulated by the legal norms of Islam. We are talking about clothing that was worn by some southern tribes of pre-Islamic times. Bariyev emphasized that the discussion around wearing the niqab is a common occurrence in Islamic countries. In a number of these countries, the niqab is banned.
The niqab is a head covering that completely covers the face, leaving only a narrow slit for the eyes.

Caucasian Muftis Declare That Wearing Niqab in Russia Harms Muslims
Wearing the niqab harms Muslims and threatens discord in interreligious and interethnic relations. This was reported by the press service of the Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus.
It is noted that the issue of the advisability of wearing a niqab is currently being actively discussed in Russia. The Islamic religion prescribes covering parts of the body except for the face, hands and feet, that is, it prescribes wearing the so-called hijab, where the face remains open.
The press service explained that wearing a hijab is not prohibited in Russia and the law allows one to be photographed in it to obtain a passport. A niqab is a headdress that completely covers the face, leaving only a narrow slit for the eyes.
It is clarified that the majority of Islamic scholars believe that an uncovered face and hands are not “awrah” (a part of the body that Muslims are obliged to cover in front of other people).
"We, Muslims of the North Caucasus, like our predecessors, theologians, support the opinion of the majority of Islamic scholars about the optionality of the "niqab". The assertion of some people that the face and hands in Islam are awrah is unreliable, unacceptable and even forbidden in Islam if it brings confusion and division into society. The niqab has never been a traditional form of clothing for the North Caucasus. Moreover, even in some countries where Islam is the state religion, wearing the niqab in public places is completely or partially prohibited," the statement says.
It is noted that in Russia, the texts of the Holy Quran and the Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad are protected at the legislative level and cannot be recognized as extremist under any circumstances. Burning sacred texts in Russia is a criminal offense, which protects the Quran and Muslims from any attacks.
The Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus called on everyone to do only good deeds.
"For this reason, we decree: to consider, in the current conditions in Russia, wearing the niqab, burqa, and similar head coverings that hide the face as causing practical harm to Muslims, threatening discord in interreligious and interethnic relations. We call on everyone to perform good deeds, which our religion actually prescribes for us to perform," the statement says.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the deputy mufti of the republic, Abdulla Salimov, reported that wearing niqabs in Dagestan is temporarily banned, taking into account the conclusion of the fatwa department issued the day before. He reported that the mufti of Dagestan had decided on a temporary ban "until the identified threats are eliminated and a new theological conclusion is made."
Salimov explained that one of the grounds was an appeal from the Ministry of National Policy and Religious Affairs of the Republic, which spoke of a threat to the security of the region's population. Another ground was the competent conclusion of the fatwa department, issued on July 2.
The overwhelming majority of Russian Muslims supported the Dagestani mufti.
The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, said on June 29 that wearing niqabs in Russia should be banned. He pointed out that in Asian countries, unlike Russia, such a ban is in effect.
Earlier, presidential adviser and chairman of the Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights Valery Fadeyev proposed banning the wearing of the niqab in Russia to reduce the threat of extremism.
The spiritual leader of Dagestan's Muslims, Akhmad Abdullayev, announced on June 1 that a theological and legal opinion, a fatwa, would soon be issued banning the niqab in the republic. The mufti stressed that a man who does not want to show his wife's face should keep her at home. The ban on wearing the niqab, which completely covers a woman's face, will remain in effect in the region until peace and tranquility return.

Political scientist explains whose symbol the niqab actually is
Ukhov: Niqab is a symbol of radical movements seeking to penetrate Russia
The niqab is a symbol not of Islam, but of radical Salafist movements that seek to penetrate and influence the Russian Muslim community. Political scientist Ilya Ukhov expressed this opinion on July 3 in his Telegram channel.
He noted that after the Dagestani muftis temporarily banned the wearing of the niqab, the process in a healthy Muslim environment began to develop. It became known that the authoritative Coordination Center of Muslims of the North Caucasus (CCMC) supported this decision and pointed out that wearing the niqab brings discord into interreligious and interethnic relations in Russia.
Ukhov noted that the KCMSC confirmed that niqab and hijab are different things. Hijab is indeed obligatory for Muslims, while niqab is not obligatory in the Koran or Hadith. Niqab is a local type and form of clothing that may vary depending on the region.
"The niqab is not a symbol of Islam, but rather of radical Salafi movements that are trying to penetrate the environment of Russian Muslims and radicalize it. And Russian Muslims themselves, who adhere to traditional interpretations of religion within the framework of the Hanafi madhhab (religious and legal school within Islam), which is characteristic of Russia, understand this very well. It is precisely they, ordinary Muslims, who are primarily affected by the export of Wahhabi ideology, which directly and extremely negatively affects the image of all Muslims.
For this reason, it is already clear that all sensible Russian Muslims support the position of the Dagestani Muftiate on niqabs, which was demonstrated by the KCMSC appeal. Moreover, the numerous attempts to inspire interreligious and interethnic discord from abroad and to tear Russia, our common home, into pieces, the patriots of which are the overwhelming majority of Russian Muslims, are all too memorable, especially in the North Caucasus," he emphasized.
