A Fatwah Free-for-All in the Muslim World

A fatwah declaring "that the Islamic restriction on unmarried men and women being together could be lifted at work if the woman breast-fed her male colleagues five times"? This article from the International Herald Tribune discusses a crisis in Islamic law.

Wow. After having read that article, I do feel like sticking up for the pro-breast feeding scholar. If that's what really happened in Muhammad's time, then it's not the scholar that's crazy for saying it's allowed in Islam.

Nabeel,

Quit reading articles and finish your medical boards

Did someone say women in Islam are treated well?

So, if you breast feed a grown man, you can take off your veil? That sounds like a High school after school special, make out line.
