JEDDAH: British Newspaper ‘Mirror’ has claimed that Saudi Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah has issued a new fatwa saying men in Saudi Arabia “can eat their wives if they are suffering severe hunger.”
According to details, fatwa guidelines allow a husband to eat his wife’s body parts in extreme circumstances. Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah had earlier stirred a controversy when he called on all churches to be destroyed under the Islamic law.
But on the other hand Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Sheikh has denied issuing such a fatwa.
His statement to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) says “attempts by enemies to distract society from their main cause at the moment, which is standing together behind our wise leadership against attempts to distort the ummah [the world’s Muslims].”
CNN Arabi has reported that “The news of the fake fatwa was first mentioned in a sarcastic column written by a satirst Moroccan blogger called “Israfel al-Maghribi.”
