Deputy Director of the Fatwa and Legislation Administration, Haitham Al-Ruwished, affirmed the administration’s commitment to consolidating legislative awareness and building bridges of cooperation with various entities, in light of its important role in enhancing and disseminating legal culture. This statement was made by Al-Ruwished to KUNA on the sidelines of the launch of the administration’s second annual Legal Cultural Season, which aims to spread legal culture, consolidate legislative awareness, build bridges of knowledge between government entities and specialists, and empower national cadres to contribute intellectually and scientifically in their fields of expertise.
Al-Ruwished said: “Under the patronage of its Chairman, Advisor Salah Al-Majid, the Fatwa and Legislation Administration has organized the first dialogue seminar, titled ‘The Commercial Concealment Law: An In-Depth Reading Between Legal Provisions and Practical Applications,’ to shed light on the provisions of Decree-Law No. 78 of 2026 concerning the fight against commercial concealment.”
He clarified that the law aims to regulate one of the most fundamental pillars of the state’s development and stability, namely economic activity, thereby achieving sustainable economic development and protecting public order and the public interest.
He noted that through this seminar and its counterparts scheduled during this cultural season, the Fatwa and Legislation Administration seeks to enhance legal awareness and enable specialists and all relevant segments to fully understand the regulatory framework established by the law’s provisions, facilitate its implementation, and ensure that their activities and economic operations—whether commercial, investment, industrial, agricultural, service-oriented, or professional—are harmonized with the law and its objectives.
The Legal Cultural Season of the Fatwa and Legislation Administration, which runs until February next year, addresses a number of topics related to legal and legislative affairs through its various seminars, as part of efforts to disseminate legal culture.
