KUWAIT CITY, Nov 20: Mosque administrations in the governorates issued a circular on Wednesday, urging imams and muezzins to adhere to regulations governing the installation of surveillance cameras inside mosques, reports Al-Seyassah daily. The circular is based on the undersecretary of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs’ letter No. 1374, issued on November 3, highlighting the importance of preserving the sanctity of mosques and protecting their facilities. The mosque administrations emphasized that no one is permitted to install camera systems or security monitoring in mosques without consulting the General Services Department at the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. The circular stressed that any installation carried out without the ministry’s knowledge will make the mosque’s imam and muezzin fully responsible. It also highlighted the necessity of officially reporting any cameras previously installed inside mosques by donors without the ministry’s approval, to update the data and ensure compliance with regulations.
