An Egyptian cleric's controversial fatwa claiming that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a marriage has uncovered a rift among Islamic scholars.
According to the religious edict issued by Rashad Hassan Khalil, a former dean of Al-Azhar University's faculty of Sharia (or Islamic law), "being completely naked during the act of coitus annuls the marriage".
The religious decree sparked a hot debate on the private satellite network Dream's popular religious talk show and on the front page of today's Al-Masri Al-Yom, Egypt's leading independent daily newspaper.
Suad Saleh, who heads the women's department of Al-Azhar's Islamic studies faculty, pleaded for "anything that can bring spouses closer to each other" and rejected the claim that nudity during intercourse could invalidate a union.
During the live televised debate, Islamic scholar Abdel Muti dismissed the fatwa: "Nothing is prohibited during marital sex, except of course sodomy."

Not only must there be nudity, but apparently some parts actually have to be *gasp* touching!

I'm speechless. These people ARE nuts.
What I find funny is the last line-nothing is prohibited in marriage except sodomy...but yet Muslim clerics seem to have no problem with sodomy with young boys and "infidels"...

It's quite obvious this particular cleric never got any, and he doesn't want anyone else to get any either. How selfish.

If you're muslim, you should conduct yourself sexually as if Mohammed himself were holding the video camea and working the lights.

"Nothing is prohibited during marital sex, except of course sodomy."You'd think, with all their emphasis on anything-goes sexuality, that the left would be deathly afraid that Sharia law would become the law of the land, and would thus be on OUR side in the war on terror.
