Cairo - 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"... For his part, Al-Azhar's fatwa committee chairman Abdullah Megawar argued that married couples could see each other naked but should not look at each other's genitalia and suggested they cover up with a blanket during sex.
Since any idiot can issue a fatwah, and two have done so on this subject, I think I'll issue one, too:Married couples validate their marriages by looking at each other naked, particularly in the area of the pee-pee. Not only are they required to look, but they're also required to fondle That Which is Not Available to the General Public and to exchange mutual compliments on size, texture, flavor, hair styling, and desirability, as appropriate. |
