Al-Wasmi stresses managing worship sites safeguards religious practice
The Kuwaiti Cabinet issued a law regulating the establishment and management of places of worship, aimed at ensuring freedom to practice religious rituals, promoting equality among citizens, and preventing their exploitation for political or non-religious purposes. The law stipulates that no place of worship may be established without prior licensing and emphasizes the need to regularize existing facilities within six months of the implementation of the regulation. It also bans the use of places of worship for political propaganda or interference in the internal and external affairs of other countries. Additionally, the law guarantees the formation of a government committee to review applications for establishing places of worship and underscores transparency and fairness in the procedures. The overarching goal is to strengthen social stability, promote values of moderation, and protect the sanctity of places of worship.
