In Bashkortostan, a mosque was closed for 20 days due to the storage of books “Sahih al-Bukhari”

In Bashkortostan, a mosque was temporarily closed due to the fact that it kept two collections of legends about the Prophet Muhammad "Sahih al-Bukhari". This was written by the Information and Analytical Center "Sova".

On July 21, the Dyurtyulinsky District Court found the Muslim religious organization "Mahalla No. 220" in the village of Gublyukuchuk guilty under the article on possession of extremist materials for the purpose of mass distribution (Article 20.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). As a punishment, her activities were suspended for 20 days, and the books Sahih al-Bukhari, because of which the protocol was drawn up, were confiscated.

Sahih al-Bukhari recognized the Laishevsky District Court of the Republic of Tatarstan as extremist material on December 9, 2021, but on April 18, 2023, the Sixth Court of Cassation of General Jurisdiction overturned this decision.

The very prohibition of "Sahih al-Bukhari" "Owl" calls unfounded. “We believe that it is not the materials themselves that should be fought, but the actions of propagandists who use a variety of tools, including religious literature, to justify xenophobic violence in the modern world,” the experts write . It is even more unlawful to suspend the activities of the mosque because of the storage of this book, since the decision to ban it has already been canceled.
