According to the sources the Ministry of Social Affairs in coordination with inspectors from the Kuwait Municipality removed the violating “kiosks”, in addition to removing the advertisements from mosque that call for breaking the fast.
The sources pointed out that regarding the violations of the commercial companies, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry was addressed to take the necessary action, calling on those in charge of charity work to adhere to the controls and requirements regulating the donation project in order to avoid legal accountability.
The sources called on worshipers not to comply with calls made for donations in violation of the law, and to make sure that the entities are licensed and approved by the Ministry, to ensure that donations are delivered to those who deserve them, and to avoid using the money in matters far from its primary goal, stressing at the same time that “cash” donations are prohibited inside mosques and can be done only through bank deductions or via the Knet deductions.
