The third property located in Rawda area is 1,000 square meters and the fourth in Farwaniya is 500 square meters, while the fifth property in Masayel area extends 400 square meters.

He revealed that the Minister of Justice, Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Yacoub Al-Sane’ signed the property ownership about 10 days ago, and Law Number 74/1979 stipulates that only Arab expatriates can own a maximum of one property in a residential area in Kuwait if a decree is issued in their favor.
