روسيا: مطالب إسلامية بإيجاد محاكم أسرة شرعية

أرسل "ديزام علي الدين محمودوف" - رئيس منظمة الفتح الإسلامي الروسية - خطابًا للمحكمة الدستورية العليا في "موسكو" للاستفسار عن إمكانية إيجاد محاكم إسلامية استشارية ضمن النظام القضائي الروسي، ومدى قانونية حظر إنشاء تلك المحاكم.

وأشار في خطابه إلى أنه لم يقف على منع مباشر من إنشاء تلك المحاكم الإسلامية لفض المنازعات الأسرية، التي يرى أهميتها في نشر التسامح وتقليل حالات التوتر الاجتماعي.

وتعليقًا على هذا المطلب أكد "بافل كراشينينيكوف" - رئيس لجنة التشريع بمجلس الدوما - أنه لا يمكن إفساح المجال أمام أحكام الشريعة الإسلامية في "روسيا".

ROAR: Muslim activist asks if Sharia courts constitutional in Russia

A lawyer and head of the Al-Fatkh Muslim organization in St. Petersburg, Dzhamaliddin Makhmutov, has sent a letter to Russia’s Constitutional Court asking if the introduction of advisory Sharia courts is lawful.

“Makhmutov is asking the plenum of the Constitutional Court to convene and explain if the ban on the creation of the institute of Islamic justice in Russia is legal,” Trud daily said. In his letter, he stated that the current legislation “does not contain a direct ban on the existence of an advisory Sharia court that could look into and mediate on domestic and family arguments between Muslims,” the paper said.

“I am putting forward the civil initiative of creating a Sharia court, which may reduce tension and [encourage] the growth of tolerance in society,” the daily quoted him as saying. “Together with labor migrants, Islam has entered the streets of our cities and not to notice this means to avoid solving the problem,” he noted.

As a possible way Makhmutov has suggested equating a Sharia law to an arbitration tribunal or officers’ court of honor.

Sharia law cannot exist in Russia according to the current legislation, said Pavel Krasheninnikov, chairman of the State Duma Legislation Committee to Ekho Moskvy. He stressed that the parliament’s lower house was not able to consider this issue either

According to the site’s source in the Constitutional Court, Makhmutov will get a response soon. It may be negative as “the request does not comply with the form of appealing to the court,” Fontanka.ru said. In particular, it does not mention the laws and corresponding norms of the constitution that are being questioned.
