Eating in public during fasting hours punishable offense: Kuwait's Interior Ministry
Eating in public during the daytime hours of the month of Ramadan is a crime punishable by law, said Public Relations and Moral Guidance Director at the ministry of interior, Adel Al-Hashash Saturday. The violator could be fined KD 100 or imprisoned for under a month, or given both punishments together, Al-Hashash added. Those who are not fasting should refrain from eating in public during the daytime hours as it is offensive to Muslims, the official stressed to foreigners and whom ever it may concern. Al-Hashash strongly urged people not observing Ramadan to eat in private during the fasting time.Posted by: Seafarious 2006-09-25 |
