Gaynutdin has served as one of the Grand Muftis of Russia and the Chairman of the Russian Council of Muftis since July 1, 1996.[3] He is one of the signatories of A Common Word Between Us and You, an open letter by Islamic scholars to Christian leaders, calling for peace and understanding. Gaynutdin has been called a key figure in relations between the Kremlin and Russia's Muslim population and one of the most important people in the Islamic World in Russia.[4]

Gaynutdin has put forward ideas such as the following: "I agree with (Nikolay) Karamzin, the excellent Russian historian of the 19th century, who said that Moscow owes its greatness to the khans of the Golden Horde. However, this also applies to all of Russia, because thanks to the political will of the khans, the gathering of the scattered principalities around Moscow began".[5]
