The Fatwa committee stated that the decision issued by the Manpower authority in August 2020 does not legally exists, it was issued by someone who is not competent enough to issue such decisions, it only shows lack of knowledge and the Director of Public Authority of Manpower is not authorized to issue such rules and procedures for granting work permits.
