Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – A member of the Council of Senior Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah Al-Mutlaq, touched on a number of the “strangest fatwas” that he passed through in his career.
This came in an interview on the state-run Saudi channel, where he said: “One of the strangest fatwas that passed to a man whose son died was his brothers. They said we donate his organs. The old man did not know who asked and told him not to donate organs. He puts him in Paradise, saying it is forbidden.. I told him this is the opinion of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen. May God place him in Paradise and gather us through him in the abode of his honor.
And he continued: “From the fatwa is a woman who sees that drops in the eye break the fast (fasting), and I tell her, O girl of Halal, what breaks the fast.” She said, “O Sheikh, by God, I feel its taste.” I said, “Do you eat with your eyes?
And he added: “Also, among the issues that came to us, in which there is knowledge and a joke, a doctor says to an old woman who breaks her fast, you see that she can no longer bear it, she says to her children, “I am not confident in the doctor. I don’t know the doctor, I’m under your protection?
