Halal or Not: Muslim Scholar Issues Fatwa Prohibiting Facebook Friends of the Opposite Sex

Dr. Salim AbdulGaleel, Professor of Islamic Studies and former Deputy Minister of Religious Endowments, issued a fatwa against virtual gender intermixing, reports Youm7. The scholar went on to explain that Facebook is responsible for one third of divorces, according to a British study. His ironclad reasoning has also been lauded by Azharian scholar and media personality, Sheikh Khaled ElGuindi, who exchanges passwords with his wife.

So, there you have it, folks! Get ready to give up your Facebook squeeze. To quote Julia Louis-Drefus: “It’s getting trickier and trickier to satirize this stuff.”
