A native of Chechnya was fined in Kuban for performing prayers with fellow believers in his home.

The head of the peasant farm gathered fellow believers in his home in the Otradnensky district of Krasnodar Krai to conduct Friday prayers. The court deemed his actions illegal missionary activity and imposed a fine of 10,000 rubles.

On July 31, the head of the peasant farm, 51-year-old Hussein M., gathered fellow believers in his home in the Otradnensky district of Krasnodar Krai to conduct Friday prayers. Law enforcement learned about this — as a result, the materials were sent to the Ministry of Justice to prove that Hussein's house is not registered as a religious organization, reports "Cautiously, news".

A protocol was drawn up against the man for "illegal missionary activity" (Article 5.26 of the Administrative Code), he admitted guilt and asked to be "strictly not punished". By the end of September, the court found that the man and his associates should have submitted an application to the Ministry of Justice and registered as a religious group, and fined him 10,000 rubles.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", there is no official mosque in Krasnodar, prayer houses are under pressure, and believers are forced to perform prayers in cafes, at gas stations, said Muslims from Krasnodar Krai. In their opinion, this is a manifestation of discrimination against Muslims.

In July 2025, law enforcement reported that a prayer room in a gardening association on Zapatnaya Street was operating with violations in Krasnodar, and administrative protocols were drawn up against its leader for illegal missionary activity. In addition, illegal places for "Muslim cult rituals" were discovered in the Varennikovskaya stanitsa in the Krymsky district, in the Khorin hamlet, and in the villages of Mayak and Podgornaya Sinyukha in the Otradnensky district, according to a publication from the official Telegram channel of the agency.
