Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of women’s Sufi practices in Ingush society. This article shows how and under whose influence women could take part in the rituals of a loud zikr, how women come to the fraternity, the reasons and motives driving women in search of mental balance, age and social composition of the participants in the ritual. We considered how spiritual practices changed at various stages of society, in which religious fraternities the participation of women in zikr rituals is permissible. How political processes influenced female religious activity associated with the zikr ritual. The consideration of this topic in this vein allows not only to see the changes that have occurred in the religious life of women’s Sufi groups in Ingushetia, but also to show what role the ritual practice of zikr has in the life of society and the participants themselves. This article uses modern methods of historical and ethnological description necessary for a detailed consideration of the regional features of the ritual practices of Ingush women.
Supporting agencies: The study was conducted within the framework of the topic NIR MAE RAS - "Diversity of cultural heritage and ethnic history of the peoples of the Islamic world (historical, ethnographic, museum and archival sources)" (hand. E.A. Rezvan).
