In today’s International Herald Tribune, there is an article titled: A fatwa free-for-all in the Muslim world giving instances which are unbelievable, if true (at least to me). It said that there were instances, in the time of the Prophet Mohammad, when women bread-fed adult males in order to overcome their need to veil in front ot men. "Breast-feeding an adult puts an end to the problem of a the private meeting, and does not ban marriage. It further stated that “A woman at work can take off the veil or reveal her hair in front of someone whom she breast-fed”.
As per a Fatwa issued in Egypt declared 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’.
Picture perfect example why people shouldn't rely on other people's interpretation of religion. Especially when these opinions are seen as religious law.
