Muslims not allowed into Kul Sharif for evening prayers

Russia and the CIS (bbabo.net) - Tatarstan drew attention to a paradoxical problem faced by residents and guests of Kazan who wish to make an evening prayer at the Kul-Sharif mosque - from 19.00 the temple is closed for all visitors.

As the Telegram channel “Mullah from around the corner” notes, due to the Kul-Sharif operation mode unusual for a mosque, believers are forced to look for another place in order to take ablution (taharat) and pray. And this task is not easy, given the lack of other mosques nearby.

The report notes that this situation causes bewilderment among tourists. So, a group of travelers who did not know about the peculiarities of the work of the temple had to make taharat with water from a bottle that happened to be with them.

One of the commentators recalled his sad experience. According to the man, during a break in the Kazan Rubin match at the Central Stadium, he went to Kul-Sharif to read a prayer, but a closed door was waiting for him.

The Muftiate of Tatarstan has not yet commented on the situation. However, it was suggested on the Web that the mode of operation of the temple is due to the fact that the building also has the status of a museum.
