Crimean citizen Susanna Ismailov has legal proceedings with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine for the right to be photographed on the passport in a female headdress Hidzhab. On June, 4th the District administrative court of Kiev has refused satisfaction of the claim of Ismailova, having considered that the rights of the Moslem are not restrained, hence, girls will be photographed further without hidzhab.
Meanwhile among Crimean Tatar politicians too are not present unanimity in the relation to traditional Muslim clothes on official documents of the state.
«To tell the truth, we did not consider this question in Medzhlis, therefore I cannot tell that we have a consolidated position, — the first vice-president of Medzhlis Refat Chubarov has told«1К». — But from the point of view of the sensible mind, each person can draw a conclusion that such judgement is the extremely unfair. Hidzhab at all does not interfere with performance by a photo in the passport of that function for which it there is intended. In a number of the European countries, in the USA photographing on documents in Hidzhab is supposed». Especially, the politician underlines, the traditional female scarf is not exclusively cult attribute.« Hidzhab is just that element of clothes which, making sense a religious symbol, became a part of national tradition, — Chubarov speaks. — As early as years 20 — 30 back no woman left the house, without having on a scarf head. Clearly, speech does not go about girls, but for marriageable girls and the more so married women hidzhab or marame (an easy scarf ) were an obligatory element of clothes. That is it is possible to consider it both national tradition, and religious necessity ».
The political opponent of Medzhlis, one of leaders «Milli Firka» Vasvi Abduraimov, is assured that the claim against the Ministry of Internal Affairs — the test for the power, organised by the radical Islamic organisations. «It seems to me, all this history with hidzhab on the passport is created its information support is artificial also is artificial is warmed up. All it once again to underline an accessory of a part of the Crimean community, in particular, the Crimean Tatars, to orthodox, or radical, to Islam, — are considered by Abduraimov. — Actually the question would cost attention of journalists if this tendency had more or less mass character. Actually it is check of how the authorities of Ukraine will react to these feeble efforts».
Behind the claim organisation there can be, for example, «Hizb ut-Tahrir», the politician considers. «When interest to building world halifat in Crimean Tatar community loses every day an urgency, there is a tendency of a withdrawal from« Hizb ut-Tahrir »young men, it is necessary to draw somehow attention to themselves, including playing sacred feelings: here see, the state strikes at our right, our belief, — Abduraimov speaks. — And by that once again to attract attention as on true defenders of belief, spirituality. And at the same time to underline that those who should these be engaged under the status — Spiritual management of Moslems of Crimea, in it is not engaged. Here they are bad, and we are good. All to us».
As to that to resolve or not photographing on the passport in hidzhab, the leader «Milli Firka» is ready to reflect over it. «If it were my will if to reject a policy and if the image in hidhzb allows to identify the woman why and not to resolve? — Abduraimov believes. — And on the other hand if you are such orthodox supporter of Islam, what for then you to have documents of the state which does not correspond to your understanding of world?» In any case, the leader of «Milli Firka» believes, the decision of this question should lie exclusively in a legal plane. «All is defined by norm of the existing law, — Abduraimov speaks. — to deduce this question in a legal field even if Susanna of the right in the desires, today it does not resolve the law, all appeals will demand, eventually, change of the existing legislation of Ukraine».
In the meantime Susanna Ismailova is going to appeal on the decision of District court of Kiev, and the definitive point in this rather scrupulous and rather indicative process is not put yet.
