Present at the meeting was Rysbek Azhy Kokumov, acting deputy representative of the SAMK in the region. In his speech, he emphasized that religious division is unacceptable and that it is important to maintain public consensus by adhering to traditional Islam based on the Hanafi school and Maturidi teachings.
The participants of the meeting acknowledged their previous views as erroneous and announced their complete withdrawal from the 'Yakin-Inkar' movement. They also expressed their intention to abide by the laws of Kyrgyzstan and follow the fatwas of the Muftiate.
It was previously reported that more than 150 people across the country have officially renounced the ideology of 'Yakin-Inkar'. Among them is the leader of the Kyrgyz wing of this movement.
'Yakin-Inkar' is a religious movement that has been recognized as extremist and banned in the country by court decision. It originated within the 'Tablighi Jamaat' movement but eventually separated, adopting more radical ideals.
The ideology of this current is based on the denial of the authority of official religious structures and the non-recognition of the fatwas of the Council of Ulema, which, according to experts, leads to a schism in the Muslim community and social isolation of its followers.
