Chechen leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, said Monday that his mother's charity would pay $1,000 to families naming newborns on that day after Mohammed. Monday marked the birthday of the Mohammed in the Sunni tradition. The Chechen strongman said the charity would pay the $1,000 to infants born on that day who were named in honor of Mohammed or any of his wives, children or ten companions to whom he personally promised paradise.
The idea came from Kadyrov's mother, Aimani Kadyrova, whose privately sponsored charity will be giving out the money, Kadyrov said on Instagram.
| Oh? Privately sponsored by whom? |
He did not specify whether children from outside Chechnya would qualify for the reward. |
