Space taken - will post in a bit.

Just before this turns in to a **** storm, this has caused huge controversy in the kingdom itself, and on social media.

This being said, the bit about twitter being "the source of all evil" is kinda funny!

Comments, thoughts?

EDIT: brb eating your wife because you're extremely hungry after fasting.

That is spam (i.e. post not related to the thread topic).

No that's fake. He(the grand sheikh) denied it on arab news.

Please do not spread info which is clearly out there to dehumanise Muslims, can you edit that the story you gave is fake into the OP please.

right you are!



Speculation is a disease in journalism.

The article the OP linked as a source of information is questionable at the very least:


Other articles have reported he completely denies the allegation of such a “fatwa” being attributed to him.
The article reports it as an allegation and is only speculating over the concern. Other websites that reported the allegation have not linked to where the fatwa is supposedly found.
The source of the where the fatwa is published cannot be found – because it does not exist!

The IBTimes links its sources of information as two articles published in Arabic by e3lam.org, a translation of the website

The alleged “fatwa” was published anonymously on internet pages that have no link back to the cleric – they were posted anonymously!

Now to use common sense, the “fatwa” would go against the Islamic faith. Backbiting (speaking about others behind their backs) is considered an abhorrent act/sin by Muslims, and it is compared to that of eating the flesh of a human being, the comparison is given to highlight just how abhorrent backbiting is seen to be. Now why would a Grand Mufti ever think that cannibalism would be permissible

The Grand Mufti is also currently being reported as denying the allegation:


The source seems to stem from pro-Iranian media, as the current situation in Yemen seems to have Saudi Arabia trying to tackle rebels that many believe are being helped by Iran;


Tl;dr – the articles are all conjecture and no evidence of him having published the “fatwa” is given, instead it is an allegation that is just being reported over and over again numerous times in the form of tabloid articles without reasonable information.

I agree, You - the reader - are responsible for making sure that all sources are being interpreted in the correct manner and making sure the article is not just unsubstantiated.

Hmm. This is legit.

Also, since most of them will have more than one wife mans got some choices like who tastes best? Who should I eat first?

Lol nice edit, pretty detailed.

.

Yep!


It's not legit, fake story.

Reading mine or Funky's posts. Funks is better.

I know brah. Sarcasm duh.

No that's fake. He(the grand sheikh) denied it on arab news.
