Building mosques in Dubai has been made easier with a new fast-track process launched by Dubai Municipality and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD).

Under the new process, construction permits for mosques will be issued within a maximum of five days. The initiative also aims to make more efficient use of buildings by simplifying construction requirements while ensuring that the essential needs of mosques are met.

Maintenance works that do not involve specialised structural modifications will be exempt from construction permit requirements, subject to applicable regulations.
