I’m...speechless:
The head of the Hadith Department in Al-AzharUniversity, Dr. Izzat Atiyya, recently issued a controversial fatwa dealing with breastfeeding of adults. The fatwa stated that a woman who is required to work in private with a man not of her immediate family - a situation that is forbidden by Islamic law - can resolve the problem by breastfeeding the man, which, according to shari’a, turns him into a member of her immediate family.
So, according to this guy, it’s not ok for women to work privately with men who aren’t members of her immediate family. Because that would be improper or something, I guess. But it is ok for that guy to suck on the woman’s breast, because then they’d be related.
Makes perfect sense.
Sarcasm aside, I sometimes wonder how NOW can’t be America’s foremost proponent of America’s presence in the middle east.
