The World of Fatwa in 2009 !!!

Al-watan newspaper, a Saudi newspaper, has issued a report about the bizarre and most talked about fatwas of 2009. seems like those sheiks are either looking for their 15 minutes fame or think the world is depress enough so let's entertain the people with these fatwas or maybe the opposite and they think screw people and to hell with them ,let's confuse them even more.
The good thing is that there are other sheiks who think of nothing but to make things easier for people in the light of Islam and to those i raise my hat - i hope we won't hear that hats are 7aram or forbidden in the 2010 fatwas-


here are some of these fatwas :-
1- Yoga is forbidden cuz it's -according to Khaled Abdularahman aljer'e- is an old Hindu pagan practice .

2-mixing between men and women is not forbidden in Islam-according to ahmad Algamde-
And finally the truth .

3- clapping is not forbidden -according to Abdalazia alfwzan-. woow that's original i didn't think that people still believe in this .


4- Cinema is forbidden, -according to Khaled saud Albelehd- why ? reason #2 :- because cinema based on spreading love , romance, and sins and it's known that people who goes there kiss and do bad stuff. shame on you people who goes to cinema, thank god we don't have it. and if you ask him why not TV ? don't be smart , the guy had answers for all. he said that in TV there are other things beside love and romance and there are no mixing so guess what?? no kisses and doing bad things.


5-to name this fatwa, let me explain something first about it. as most women in Saudi Arabia got no where to work but being teachers and cuz cities are full so most teachers and sent to far away villagers- i should write about my experience one day- and cuz women don't drive , they need a driver to take them to their villages and a group of 3 to 10 teachers travel everyday with that driver who could be a man from the same village or from their cities . so some women after a while marry their driver, don't ask me why? is it love? understanding? just marriage? who knows -yea and our driver asked my father for my hand, i used to sit close by himso i guess the guy fell in love or so, and of course i said no- uffffff. long introduction, now here is the fatwa, it's forbidden for a teacher to marry her driver ???? because it's based on interests, maybe material or she wants to take advantage of him so he won't take money from here. god knows.


6-if a player score a goal in a football match and then bow to god as being thankful, it's forbidden. -according to Saleh Mogbel aleseme-why ? it's an insult against Islam because if this is a blessing from Allah? cuz if it's ,then we should ask for Allah's help in our Friday prayer !!! woow this guy is really something unique . now if non-Muslims saw you in let's say one of the European league-which of course our players won't be in ever- they will think that you are bowing to them, bad bad European fans, or they might think that this is a movement against them which would definitely increase Islamophobia. ohhhhh how sweet of you to think of our image in the world sheik :)


7-women can travel without a male companion . why ? it's safe for women to travel alone. again this is a good one but still can be changed in 2010.


8-in Egypt , some sheiks forbid eating "fasekh" or the salted fish they eat in one of their celebration calling it dirty and disgusting,. so if you don't like it don't eat it !!! what ?? shall i issue a fatwa saying gums are forbidden !!!


9-this is hilarious , after the international tribunal issued a warrant against the Sudanese president , sheiks in Sudan issued a fatwa saying that the travel of the Sudanese president outside Sudan is forbidden. why the hell didn't you say that what happens in Darfur is forbidden in Islam.


10-still in Sudan where the next fatwa comes out, demonstration is forbidden in Islam, cuz they are corrupting and destroying the society . we can demonstrate politely and secretly if you want !!


11- AlOda, who is a very well known shik and very open and has lots of argue about him since he point out things other sheiks hate to point, said that if a girl lost her virginity and repent , then she can fix this by restoring her virginity, why ? here is a good reason , because he said that he have heard a lot about honor killing since Islam doesn't allow this killing , then the girl should protect her self by doing so. God bless you AlOda.


these are some of the fatwas and i am sure 2010 will be enjoyable as well. and please don't ask me to be respectable with these sheiks because they didn't respect themselves or the people they are dealing with and talking to.


I , also, happens to know that Islam is here to make the lives of people easier , why aren't they ?

  1. Yoga is forbidden?!? Guess Islam will have to continue to live without me ;-)

    I didn't actually see a Marilyn Monroe film (like Some Like It Hot) until my twenties as my parents were convinced they had been proscribed by the Vatican!

  2. Hi Wafa'
    Btw, it is a nice name.
    We are living in a forest of fatwas and every fatwa seems to be contradicting the other.
    Fatwa is becoming a huge and thriving industry, and what saddens me most is that people still take what is said very seriously.
    I think the real problem lies with the backward culture in which the clerics are looked at as divine creatures and as the only spokespersons for God, even when it becomes very clear to all that they manipulate religion and twist it to suit their own narrow interests.
    If you want to know how crazy and hilarious the fatwa thing has become just think about the fatwa which allows women to breastfeed adult men! Or the other nonsensical fatwa which says that clapping one's hands is HARAM in Islam!!
    After all, it is a ridiculous business though it can be very lucrative and a big generator for wealth and social prestige.
    The normal and wise person would rather live his life without giving a damn to what those guys say or what they do not say.
    Listening to them is a waste of time except if one wants to break monotony and have some fun.
    Thanks.

  3. I enjoyed reading this list. Some of them really made me laugh while others were really silly. Your commentary on them was amusing. :) Thanks for sharing!

  4. dad, see how did we lose you, damn them, lol. i actually read once about the strange things different religions forbid !! and some like it hot should be mandatory to watch :)

    Prometheus, thank you :) . you know i care less about these jerks, but the problem is that we have huge illiteracy so people tend to follow such clerks, unfortanetly.

    Susanne, they are silly indeed and can be used for laughter. and you are welcome :)

  5. Yoga and cinema is like my life. And were they doing something prior to announcing these silly fatwas? Because they really are just downright insulting to me and my beliefs in Islam.
    BTW, Wafa' is such a pretty name :)

  6. mature, so you got to get yourself another life lovely lady :P and nope they do nothing before declaring such silliness, they just sit in their air-conditioned offices and write down stuff that turn to be silly fatwas.
    and thank you :)

  7. I think there should be a fatwa against Fatwa and they should be banned!

  9. Thanks that was funny :D
    A lot of those fatawi are for political reasons, reasons that we don't really know but we can predict, like the cenima for example! It isn't like there isn't porn on TV! Those people are not ignorant, they just pretend to be.
    The government has its reasons, that's all I can say :)

  12. Anonymous, it's not me who said that, it's the sheik who issued a fatwa saying it's 7aram :)
