Just file this under the great contributions Islam makes to humanity, and most especially women’s rights: honor killings, female genital mutilation, gender apartheid, forced marriage, child marriage etc.

Egyptian cleric says men can marry their own daughters if they are born out of wedlock

Mazen Al-Sersawi cites prominent Muslim scholar in making his argument
Girls born out of wedlock are not really daughters so not ‘attributed’ to father
According to his argument in these circumstances a man can marry daughter
The comments have been widely criticised and greeted with revulsion

By Tariq Tahir For Mailonline, 4 November 2017:

A prominent Egyptian Salafist cleric has suggested Islam allows men to have sex with their illegitimate daughters and marry them.

Mazen Al-Sersawi cites prominent Muslim scholar Imam Al-Shafi’i as saying because illegitimate daughters are not officially attributed to their fathers they can be married to them.

He makes the claims in a video which has gone viral and he has been widely criticized for the comments.

In the video, Al-Sersawi said Imam Al-Shafi’i is known for saying men may marry their own daughters that are born out of wedlock

He claims because a girl born in an adulterous relationship is ‘not really his daughter’ then a father can have sex with her

Al-Sersawi, who teaches at the prestigious Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, claims Al-Shafi’I says a girl born in an adulterous relationship is ‘not really his daughter’.

Because an illegitimate daughter does not carry her father’s name, ‘she is not his daughter according to Sharia. She is not officially attributed to him’.

The video was made in 2012 but has recently resurfaced online.

Many have expressed their revulsion about his claims with one man tweeting ‘what is this madness?’ and a woman simply saying ‘ewww’.

Earlier this year, another Egyptia cleric Muftah Mohammad Maarouf, said in televised debate the age for marrying should be low enough for new-born babies to be married off.

He said long as ‘no harm’ is done to the child, there is no problem ‘preventing her from getting married’ adding ‘in Islamic Sharia there is no set age for marriage when it comes to females’.

Consanguinity. It’s the scourge of Muslim lands. Everyone is married to a blood relative cousin which causes lots of deformities and stupidity on a grand scale. Just because she was born out of wedlock doesn’t mean she isn’t related by blood. So a father can have an affair and then marry the daughter?

He sounds like the product of just such a marriage.

Imams singing in the dead of night,
Take this little girls and learn to fly.
All your life,
Girls were only waiting for their papa to be right.

The “weird beards” are as insane and nutty as the libs. No wonder they get along so well together.

The only thing that makes this a little bit reasonable is that the whole dam pack of them is already so inbread it's not going to make a bit of difference.

Looks like Mazen’s daddy practiced what Mazen preaches

Grandpappy and Great Grandpappy too

Just sayin’

Conquer the muzzies and convert them to Christianity or they will conquer us, and sooner than some may think.

The dark ages death-cult of Satan worshippers calling itself Islam -and ALL who believe in it- needs to be wiped from the earth forever! By any means necessary.

Say what you want about precious beliefs of different groups, this is just genetically irrefutable as a bad idea.
