Ramadan Tent Permits Cancelled in Dubai

The department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities announced on Tuesday that no Ramadan tent permits will be allowed this year in line with the government’s efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.

IACAD on Tuesday announced that the move aims to prevent large gatherings where people may flout social distancing rules in place during the pandemic.

Ahmed Darwish Al Muhairi, executive director of the charitable sector, also added that, since a number of people and organisations like to volunteer for distribution during the Holy Month, they can do so only in collaboration with charities and institutions approved and licensed by the IACAD.

Mosques wont be giving out free meals for workers this year, however, local organisations CAN collaborate with charities and in special circumstances, they will be granted licenses by the IACAD.
