Article 40 explained in plain English
This article specifies the body that issues the Implementing Regulations of the Law: the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the article states in parentheses that he is the Minister of Justice.
The importance of the Implementing Regulations: the Law sets the general rules and leaves many details to the Regulations. The Regulations show how its provisions are applied in practice, so they are an important reference for anyone dealing with the Authority.
How does it fit with the other articles?
- Article 39, before it, provides that the Authority replaces the Money Houses Department of the Ministry of Justice and that its rights and obligations pass to it, and that the Law repeals every provision that conflicts with it except the Supreme Awqaf Council Law and the Regulation on Organizing Charitable Waqfs.
- Article 41, after it, provides that the Law is published in the Official Gazette and takes effect ninety days after the date of its publication.
Note that this article speaks of issuing the Regulations, that is, adopting them and officially putting them out by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The article does not state the content of the Regulations or when they will be issued; those matters lie outside its text.
Anyone who needs the details of a particular procedure at the Authority, such as inventorying an estate or taking over funds, can refer to the Implementing Regulations, or consult a lawyer who specializes in personal status and estates.
