The Federal National Council (FNC) has approved a draft federal law regulating places of worship for non-Muslims. The draft law aims to promote the values of tolerance and coexistence and will be applicable to all such places nationwide, including those located in free zones.
This came in a session today chaired by Saqr Ghobash, the FNC Speaker at the parliament's HQ in Abu Dhabi.
The draft law also proposes the formation of a committee to examine and classify non Muslim religious activities, rites, and customs in the country. Based on the recommendations of relevant ministries, the UAE Cabinet will decide on the committee's composition, working system, and other responsibilities.
A competent entity will retain a registration of licensed or designated roles and places of worship, and the data held in this registry must contain the information provided in the executive regulations of the draft law.
The FNC introduced an article on the allocation of rooms of worship, which stipulates the following:
According to the draft law, a person who contravenes any provision of the law, its regulations, or related decisions shall be subject to a fine ranging from Dh100,000 to Dh3 million. The penalties prescribed in the law shall be applied without prejudice to a more severe penalty stipulated by any other law. Existing places of worship must comply with the proposed law's rules within six months of the executive regulations' implementation. This deadline can be extended by up to two years, with each extension lasting six months.
