Article 5 of the Saudi Explosives and Fireworks Law

This article places two restrictions on the holder of an explosives permit, so that the permit does not become an open-ended license:

The first restriction (paragraph a): sticking to the purpose

Explosives may not be used for any purpose other than the one the permit was issued for. If the permit was issued for a specific purpose, such as blasting work in a particular quarry, the same explosives may not be used for another purpose, even if that purpose is lawful in itself.

The second restriction (paragraph b): no assignment or disposal

Explosives may not be assigned or disposed of except with a permit from the Ministry. The authorized person has no right to transfer them to someone else by sale, gift or otherwise without a separate permit from the Ministry of Interior.

Note that this article speaks specifically of explosives and does not mention fireworks. The general prohibition in Article 4 covers both, as it prohibits manufacturing, possessing, selling, using or circulating explosives and fireworks, or otherwise dealing in them, except with a permit from the Ministry.

The purpose of the two restrictions is to keep explosives under the Ministry's supervision at all times, since a permit is issued to a particular person and for a particular purpose. This is supplemented by Article 6, which requires the authorized person to keep special records of explosives in accordance with the forms and procedures set by the Regulations.

Anyone who needs to change the purpose for which explosives are used, or to transfer them to another party, can consult a lawyer who specializes in criminal cases.
