Shaikh Al Obaikan “Clarifies” Adult Breastfeeding Fatwa, Herman’s Hermits on Milk……………
“No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why….” Herman’s Hermits
“Manama: A Saudi scholar has waded into controversy after he said that women could give their milk to men to establish a degree of maternal relations and get around a strict religious ban on mixing between unrelated men and women. According to Shaikh Abdul Mohsin Al Abaican, a consultant at Saudi Arabia's royal court, a man who often entered a house and came in contact with the womenfolk there should be made symbolically related to the women by drinking milk from one of the women. Under the fatwa, the act would preclude any sexual relations between the man and the donor woman and her relatives…….. However, the scholar said that his fatwa did not apply to family drivers, explaining that they were not permanent and could be replaced. "The fatwa is only for those who live in the house or need to get in often," he said………. The edict is also likely to be resisted by religious scholars keen on promoting a more modern view of Islamic values………..”
But a family’s driver does live in their house, for years. He lives in the house more permanently than say a lascivious cleric shaikh and deserves to be breastfed by the womenfolk of the house more than the aforementioned lascivious Salafi cleric. What the shaikh Al is saying is that the “breastfeeding” rule does not apply to the lowly Asian household help.
“Under the fatwa, the act would preclude any sexual relations between the man and the donor woman and her relatives…” Nice touch of the shaikh to clarify this fine point.
