New Fatwa Calls on Men to Drink Women's Breast-Milk

Now, a high-ranking Saudi, Sheikh Abdul Mohsin al-Abaican, a consultant at Saudi Arabia's royal court, has issued a fatwa asserting that

...women could give their milk to men to establish a degree of maternal relations and get around a strict religious ban on mixing between unrelated men and women. [Because] a man who often entered a house and came in contact with the womenfolk there should be made symbolically related to the women by drinking milk from one of the women. Under the fatwa, the act would preclude any sexual relations between the man and the donor woman and her relatives.

Sheikh al-Abaican thus "modernizes" Dr. Izzat's position — that the man must breastfeed directly from the teat — by suggesting that "the man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman. He should drink it and then becomes a relative of the family, a fact that allows him to come in contact with the women without breaking Islam's rules about mixing."

(So much for simply being in control of oneself without going through bizarre rituals.)

This is apparently Islam's way of making it OK for an adult male to live in the same household with a non-relative female. How civilized and modern!

Does that mean you are allowed to beat them with a rubber hose afterward?

Obama is so proud.

[JimWayne]

Yes you can. That is what the article says. The original proposal by the Egyptian scholar (he has a PhD) said this. Read the article. Are you planning to visit Saudi Arabia?

"...the man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman.

Well what the heck kind of fun is that? I mean, I can think of some women I'd like to be symbolically related to, but none of this artificial, half-measure stuff will do!
