QUESTION:
YANG BERHORMAT AWANG AMRAN BIN HAJI MAIDIN asked the MINISTER OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS whether the Ministry, through the Mosque Affairs Department, plans to provide a platform that shares information related to the facilities needed by mosques? This could ease and assist individuals who wish to contribute or endow while speeding up the acquisition of facilities without fully relying on government funding.
YANG BERHORMAT MINISTER OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS​
ANSWER:
Currently, the Ministry of Religious Affairs through the Mosque Affairs Department is undertaking an initiative to collect data and information regarding facilities available at mosques nationwide such as funeral management rooms, funeral management equipment, hearses, special rooms for Persons with Disabilities (PWD), PWD parking spaces, PWD toilets, and so on.
As a result of collecting the information and data, the Ministry through the Mosque Affairs Department is planning an appropriate platform on the official media of the Ministry of Religious Affairs to help people know the facilities needed in mosques and subsequently contribute through waqaf, sedeqah, hibah or any suitable instruments according to Islamic law.
At present, the National Mosque Fund of Negara Brunei Darussalam platform has been provided, which among its purposes is to cover the costs of construction, renovation, and other mosque needs. This fund has received contributions from public service personnel, private companies, and anyone who wishes to engage in charitable or waqaf activities.
In addition, the Ministry greatly appreciates the efforts made by the public either through mosque Takmir Committees, organizations/associations, or individuals in striving to enhance mosque facilities without fully depending on government allocation, with the sole intention of obtaining rewards from Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala.
