The mosque will be built on two hectares of land and named after Duka Chimayev, a theologian and a religious figure.
Sultan Mirzayev, Head of the Chechen Muslim Administration, opened the ceremony of the mosque’s foundation.
The construction was ordered by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
Grozny is also the house of the Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque, the largest mosque of Russia which is officially known as the "The Heart of Chechnya".
