Are you a strict Muslim, but forced by the necessities of modern life to work alone with a woman? It’s cool, don’t sweat it: just keep her veiled, and be sure to suck on her boobs:
So the latest Azhar fatwa, ingeniously thought of by the head of the Hadith section at the university who argues it’s based on a Prophet’s strong Hadith (saying), is trying to solve the problem that in this darn age men and women are spending time alone together at work when that is forbidden. The solution? Easy! The problem can be easily solved by having the woman nurse her colleague. Yep. Nurse him as in put her breast in his mouth. This way they become related through nursing and as such can be alone together without breaking any moral or religious codes. But they need to keep accurate records of who nursed whom so things don’t get mixed up. Once a man is nursed by a woman, she can take off her veil in front of him because now he’s “forbidden” to her.
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that a lot of lonely Egyptian men are going to be finding themselves “accidentally” stuck in a room with a woman. “Quick! Give me your breasts, before we commit a sin!”
EDIT: Because a bizarre religious ruling is never complete without being head-scratchingly specific: the nursing must occur five times in order to qualify. No word on whether the woman is required to produce milk.
strange indeed…
