The Maldives ministry of Islamic Affairs has suspended issuing licenses to deliver Friday sermons without a script, reports Miadhu.
The suspension is to strengthen the Maldives regulation on religious unity, according to the ministry.
The decision came after intense debate within the ministry, said Sheikh Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed, minister of state for Islamic Affairs.
Unscripted sermons were not delivered in the country prior to the new government, comments Miadhu, and many people believe that the religious awareness in the country has increased as a result of the unscripted sermons.
