The Buguruslan muftiate became part of the Regional Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Orenburg Region (RDUM OO). The head of the RDUM NGO Abdulbary Khairullin commented on this event as follows: "More than ten years ago, the Buguruslan muftiate, led by Ismagil Shangareev , for a reason invented by him, spun off from the DUM NGO. For more than ten years they were in opposition to us, registered a parallel organization - the Central Spiritual Administration of Orenburg" .
Until recently, the organization of I. Shangareev was part of the Council of Muftis of Russia, and the RDUM OO belongs to the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims.
"Having made a decent number of mistakes, the Buguruslans decided to start everything from scratch. Perhaps due to the fact that Ismagil Shangareev has long been living outside of Russia, the Buguruslans turned to me with a request to allow them to join our organization. What they had to answer ?! I agreed, because the losers must be forgiven," A. Khairullin said and promised that there would be no "witch hunt".
