Els principals líders religiosos musulmans de Rússia i de l’Àsia Central es van reunir a Astrakhan (Rússia) per posar en comú la situació de l’islam. Segons la informació publicada al canal AST-NEWS, hi van participar les figures de màxim nivell dins l’islam de Rússia, Kazakhstan, Kirguizistan i Uzbekistan.

Oposició clara al niqab també a Rússia

En aquesta reunió, les autoritats espirituals van recomanar als fidels musulmans que no portin niqab en espais públics i van recomanar a les autoritats russes que en prohibeixin l’ús com ja han fet les repúbliques de l’Àsia Central. L’argument presentat va ser que el niqab dificulta la identificació de les persones, pot generar problemes de seguretat i és aliè a la seva tradició religiosa.

Les paraules del Muftí Suprem de Rússia, Talgat Tadzhuddin, van ser clares: “Les nostres àvies i avantpassats mai van portar niqab. Aquesta pràctica és aliena a l’islam que ha existit històricament a Rússia”. Les direccions espirituals musulmanes de Rússia —institucions que col·laboren estretament amb l’Estat— defensen un islam moderat, local i tradicional.

A Rússia, el niqab s’associa a corrents salafistes o wahhabites, a processos de radicalització juvenil i a la influència d’imams no autoritzats que operen des de Turquia o des de diversos països del golf Pèrsic. Les autoritats de seguretat també assenyalen que algunes cèl·lules islamistes han utilitzat el vel integral per dificultar la identificació de persones involucrades en activitats il·lícites. Aquesta lectura del niqab com un element vinculat a moviments radicals és compartida pels governs d’Àsia Central i les seves autoritats religioses.

Evitar resar en moments i llocs inadequats

Els muftís reunits a Astrakhan també van abordar la qüestió de les pregàries realitzades al carrer o en espais públics. En les seves orientacions, van demanar als fidels que evitin resar en llocs o moments inapropiats, com ara durant l’horari laboral, en zones amb gran afluència de persones on es pot bloquejar el pas, o fins i tot a la via pública en situacions que puguin posar en risc la seguretat.

Segons els líders religiosos, aquestes recomanacions responen a un context en què, a Rússia, les pregàries col·lectives en espais oberts han generat malestar entre alguns sectors de la població, especialment en ciutats grans i zones multiètniques. Les autoritats islàmiques subratllen que no es tracta d’una prohibició, sinó d’una norma de convivència destinada a evitar conflictes i a garantir que la pràctica religiosa no interfereixi amb les obligacions civils ni amb el funcionament habitual de l’espai públic. Aquest enfocament busca mantenir un equilibri entre la llibertat de culte i el respecte per l’entorn compartit.

Segons els referents religiosos reunits a Astrakhan, els musulmans tradicionals de Rússia “no cobreixen les seves dones amb burques ni niqabs” i “no provoquen els conciutadans amb oracions públiques”. A més, afirmen mentre que els grups salafistes o wahhabites no fan cas de recomanacions religioses i recomanen aquestes pràctiques des de Turquia i diversos països àrabs.
