A court in Al-Rass near Madinah has issued a verdict separating a couple after finding out that they had been breastfed by the same woman, local reports say. The separation order comes 25 years after the couple were married and blessed with seven children.

The judge issued the verdict on the basis of a religious edict issued by Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh, media reports said.

According to a saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), “Breastfeeding makes forbidden what is forbidden by blood relations.”

It means that even if a man and woman are not related by blood if they were breastfed by the same woman when they were babies, they should not be allowed to marry each other.

The case surfaced three months ago and the judge gave his final verdict on Tuesday after consulting the grand mufti, an Arabic daily said.

Details of the couple’s childhood were not available, but it is common in many communities worldwide for nursing mothers to breastfeed the baby of a relative, a colleague at work, a neighbor or a friend when the other baby’s mother is not present.

This is the kind of primitive, psychotic, simian Bull crap that Obama wants to impose on the United States.

Superstitious perverts. That’s all they are.

How in hell did this country get to the point where it is teetering on the edge of muzzie bastards dictating these things to us?

[nickcarraway]

It’s not. As soon as Christianity is out of the way, Islam will be too.

That's crazy. According to that rule, I couldn't have married my cousin.

According to a saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), “Breastfeeding makes forbidden what is forbidden by blood relations.”

[Ingtar]

The prophet Mohammed (child rape be upon him) was no prophet, nor was he a man, based upon his life.

Simian? Monkeys wouldn’t do this.

[Popman]

My word, what a assbackward dysfuntional primitive culture...

[muir_redwoods]

These people should collectively receive some sort of Nobel prize for ignorance. Their deep stupidity is unbounded.

[JRandomFreeper]

Their stupidity is recursive, and folds back in on itself so much that it bends space-time.

They are a black hole of stupidity.

Islam is to society what a fork bomb is to unix.

That’s pretty strict for a faith that allows 6 year old wives and goat humping.

> "Breastfeeding makes forbidden what is forbidden by blood relations."<

That's pretty obviously a careless mistake in the original article. Breast-feeding can't make forbidden what's already forbidden. Without even looking it up, I think what Mohammed probably said is "Breastfeeding makes forbidden what is not forbidden by blood relations." In other words, a relationship that would ordinarily be allowed is not allowed because of shared breast-feeding. That's what seems silly.

How did the court find out ?
how does this subject even come up in casual conversation ?

[GJones2]

I still suspect that what the original said is "Breastfeeding makes forbidden what is not forbidden by blood relations." After thinking it over, though, the thought struck me that breast-feeding may have been seen as affecting the blood. If so, it could make forbidden (by falling under the same category) what is forbidden by blood relations.
