The ban will be instituted until "the identified threats are eliminated and a new theological conclusion is issued," a spokesperson for the Muftiate of Dagestan said.
Sergei Melikov, head of the Dagestan Republic, announced the dismissal of the Sergokalinsky district's head, Magomed Omarov, after his sons were suspected of participating in yesterday’s terrorist attack in Makhachkala and Derbent.
A counterterrorism regime was instituted after militants allegedly fired on an Orthodox church and a police post in Russia's Dagestan Republic, according to local authorities.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed that the four suspects, who were arrested in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, were plotting another attack in the Dagestani city of Kaspiysk.
