Religious Discourse Licensing Procedures

The Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs, and Endowments in Bahrain has developed procedures to regulate work permits in the religious discourse sector, aiming to strengthen the role of clarifying religious knowledge and promoting moderation and Islamic values. The decisions focus on preventing the exploitation of places of worship and mourning halls for activities that violate regulations, establishing specialized committees to define standards and criteria for licensing, including requiring a good conduct certificate, and outlining obligations for permit holders such as adhering to Sharia and security requirements. They also include a six-month period to reconcile any discrepancies following the implementation of these amendments. These measures seek to organize religious work in a way that facilitates the dissemination of correct Islamic principles and prevents the misuse of the religious domain for illegitimate purposes.
