Gimme Boob!

Don’t laugh, this is serious:

احتدم جدل بين علماء دين في مصر ووصل إلى البرلمان بعد فتوى لرئيس قسم الحديث بجامعة الأزهر، تبيح ‘’إرضاع الكبير’’، في وقت انتقدت صحف عدة تدريس كتاب في هذا القسم يؤكد أن الإرضاع يحلل الخلوة بين رجل وامرأة غريبة عنه في مكاتب العمل المغلقة، بحسب موقع ‘’العربية.نت’’.
الوقت – ١٨ مايو ٢٠٠٧

What that little gem above states that a brainfartist at Al-Azhar, that “islamic university” which has imprisoned Kareem due to what they categorise as blasphemous comments on his blog which scorned the greatest and last religion on Earth, has done much more to completely insult our religion – you know, the one they are sworn to protect? – by a brainfart of a fatwa (or as we say in colloquial Bahraini – and this is a literal translation of the “fart” part of the phrase: faswa) – which is supposed to help women who share offices with male colleagues. This is in the same stream of “elevating women and putting them on a pedestal” of course.

What the right dishonourable twat issued his fatwa that should a woman share an office with a male colleague, which is haram (verboten, forgetaboutit, nowayjosé, gostraighttohellanddonotpassgo), as unmarried males and females should not mix, she must be accompanied with a chaperon, or she should breast feed that adult male five times in order for their unchaperoned existence together be Islamically lawful, halal!

How about that for flexibility? Who said that Islam was a rigid religion?

Now. I would not be surprised that men all over the Muslim world standing erect while a queue of women pass by, boobs hanging out and breast feeding the line in order to protect their rights and allow them to live in a halal environment with men.

Islam – according to the respected Al-Azhar, that edifice of education and protector of our religion and spreader of blaspheming law suits, not only condones this sort of behavior, but encourages heads of departments to research and produce this sort of edict!

    and of course, this is not the first time that we have been blessed with these ingenius fa(t/s)wa’s…

    First we know all the footy around lately, and the premier league is coming up in august, so here are some new footy rules for the religiously concious.

    And of course, we cannot forget how open our religion is, and we talk about anything and everything, including intimate marital affairs, with a few guidelines for you to follow!

    I had another one relating to John Travolta’s dancing, and the evils of women watching TV, using the internet, and LEARNING!!! I mean, god forbid! :shock:

    Actually the shiite have used these hadiths to prove that the hadiths present in Sahih Al – Bukhari – the righteous and wholey correct book after the quran – contradict with the quran’s verses and scriptures that say that breast feeding should be for two years only, and after child birth. Which means no breast feeding after that which includes adults.

    I was breastfed for over two years, and my mother was even pregnant with my sister while i continued breastfeeding after the two years. And i am Shi’a as well, but i don’t see why being Shi’a or Sunni would make a difference. It is up to the mother to decide when she wants to stop breastfeeding her child. Of course, she should not deny the child its right to breastfeed, but come on, breastfeeding a 3 year old, who can talk and can eat other forms of nutrition, who’s body structure has become reasonably developed for a child, would need to be breastfed? Or a 8 or 10 year old? Or a man?

    Unless the man who made this Fatwa wants to have an adult baby fantasy and get breastfed by a lactating woman, then i believe he had no reason to even think of this matter.

    People today have stopped breastfeeding other children, even children they have adopted.

    And i don’t know what woman would breastfeed a child who had grown over the age of 3, or even an adult, unless she is doing it only for the pleasure it would bring her by having her nipples sucked on, and would use this Fatwa as an excuse.

    Why do they not try to use their minds and help humanity with something beneficial, instead of wasting peoples time with their nonsense, and just making fools out of themselves.

    Are these supposed to be the scholars who Muslims are expected to learn from the correct interpretation of Islam?

    Just wait for a while, they will even make a sub-Fatwa regarding this, about the limit of how much breastfeeding is allowed in a day, and a limit to the size of the womans breasts.

    Is this Fatwa going to be practiced openly in Bahrain? Or by anyone who is in a correct state of mind?

    Dear Salman,
    What I said was incomplete, my bad ..

    What I was trying to say is that, during those two years of the baby’s age, when breast fed by another women – not his mother – and for a number of times whether it is five or seven , it is during these two years of the baby’s age, the this woman becomes his mother by ” rida3a ” أم بالرضاعة

    And therefore this woman’s sons and daughters they are considered as brothers and sisters of the baby by “rida3a”
    Get it ?

    In arabic :
    الفترة التي تصبح فيها المرأة أما بالرضاعة للطفل , هي الفترة قبل بلوغ الطفل سنتين من عمره , أما إذا كانت أكثر من سنتين , فلا تنشر الحرمة , فلو أن إمرأة رضعت طفلا و عمره ثلاث سنوات أو أكثر من سنتين , فهذه الرضاعة لا تنشر الحرمة , فإن كان هذا حال الأطفال , فكيف حال الرجال ؟؟
    وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ

    حولين يعني سنتين ..

    Dear nadooi,
    actually what I’ve written is the ” word by word” translation , and you should actually say that Sheikh Othman al khamees has made women in to cows :)

    Dear EXCLAMATION MARK,

    I understand what you mean. Sorry, i wasted your time with the arabic translation, but i have difficulties reading arabic.

    I know that the child will be a brother or sister and son by breastfeeding. I did not know the amount of times required for it to fulfill the requirements of becoming a child by breastfeeding.

    I think, but not sure (please someone correct me if i am wrong) that you cannot marry your brother or sister in “rida3a”?

    Dont you have to be ‘lactating’ in order to breast feed?
    What if you aren’t lactating, which most people aren’t? Do men still have a dairy free go at it? and what woman would allow a colleague to go anywhere near her breast or her breast milk even if it’s in a glass (or is it supposed to be in a baby’s bottle??).

    I dont understand any of this (not that anyone should try to make sense of it). The whole thing although fascinating is totally twisted, disgusting and disturbing, and lastly i cant believe the guy who’s promoting this as a ‘fatwa’ isn’t in an insane assylum or in jail for pedophilia.

    I say to all lactating moms out there- be ware of of the Faswa promoting Al-Azhari’s and keep your boobs and children safe!!!!

    I do not see how a single woman nursing one single worker really helps the problem. What about job mobility inside the company? The process would have to be restarted.

    It seems to me that a good solution is for each company to employ a ‘wet nurse’, whose job function is to be the company-breast.
    The first day of job training, for both men and women, will include ‘nursing’ from the company breast. This way everyone is related and free to move within the company space.

    I first read this news on the Italian Repubblica, and I thought it was a misunderstanding on their part. Really I wonder if I should devote more time to deep reading of holy scripts. It seems that with really really close reading they hold unexpected sources of entertainment

    Sorry not related to the fatwa, but re: remark 52 breastfeeding is for children only, yes, but 2 years is not the maximum but the recommended time, i.e. the minimum.

    Guys this all is nothing but INSANE, INSANE & INSANE & Thank you the fatwa issuers for trying to prove that Islam is a pathetic religion (I don’t think there is a secondary goal involved here, do you??)

    C’mon people, this thing doesn’t even makes sense & is completely insane if one thinks to adopt this as a so called ‘measure’ to secure the image of one’s self in front of society, religiously & morally & your not stopping here are you, you believe that its a part of a religion (any religion) like revealed to us from the Almighty.

    Sure you can make up millions of fantasies in your dirty mind but taking your filth & saying its word of God or a Correct Hadith, DAMN you whoever you are.

    This is just another example of those ‘Chinese whispers’ a guy mentioned above, not really sure what it means but its going to be that only.

    Like, in the Holy Quraan, its mentioned, not to pray, and you thought you will go to hell if you don’t pray five times a day, yes there are these words in the holy book but just after them is a CONDITION stating that ONLY if you are not clean & pure as per the basic requirements to pray in front of the Almighty

    You can start a new post and discuss all your fantasies there

    BUT NOT UNDER THE BANNER OF ISLAM OR ANY OTHER RELIGEON FOR THAT MATTER

    Cheers
    Aye Dee

    I have been giving thinking about this fatwa for a while, and i have began understanding what they are trying to achieve here.

    I think they want women to breastfeed their colleagues so that the woman would become the mother by breastfeeding, and hence it would prohibit the man of lusting or being able to do anything immoral with the woman, because she would be his mother, and it would then be considered incest, and she would also be haram for him to marry as well.

    But then again, why would you need such a thing? Why would the man not be respectable enough to not lust for his co-workers? Or why would the woman lust for her co-workers?

    Having food in front of you, does not mean you must eat, or does it?
