The UAE’s Federal National Council has approved a draft law to regulate and care for mosques. Under the law, employees must be qualified to work in mosques and anyone who belongs to illegal groups or organisations, practices illegal political or organisational activities or preaches without a licence or approval will not be able to issue fatwas or teach the Holy Quran outside mosques. Anyone who violates the Law will be fined between 20,000 and 50,000 AED and/or jailed for up to three months. Anyone who begs at mosques or interferes with the Imam while they are calling worshippers to prayer or whilst they are preaching will be fined 5,000 AED and or jailed for up to three months.
