| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Kavkauzel] The information spread on social networks about the mandatory wearing of the hijab in Chechnya is false, the muftiate stated. As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", the decision of the Vladimir Region authorities to ban the wearing of religious clothing in schools has caused a wide resonance in the republics of the North Caucasus. State Duma deputy and TV presenter Yevgeny Popov stated that he received threats from Dagestan deputy Biysultan Khamzaev because Popov supported criticism of Khamzaev on television for his position on banning hijabs in Vladimir Region schools. Khamzaev is known in Dagestan for his outrageous behavior, and his conflict with Popov went beyond the bounds of parliamentary ethics, journalists and a political scientist stated. False information is being spread on social networks that wearing a hijab has been made mandatory in Chechnya, the republic's Spiritual Administration of Muslims (SAM) announced today on its Telegram channel. "This information does not correspond to reality," the muftiate emphasized. Attached to the publication is a screenshot of the post, which, in addition to information about the introduction of wearing the hijab in Chechnya, provides links to the Koran, and also states that all female residents of the republic who identify themselves as Muslims must allegedly begin wearing hijabs by December 1 of this year.
