Breastfeeding by adults?  permlink

Islamic scholar promotes adult breastfeeding:

...Izzat Atiyaa had issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, offering his bold suggestion as a way around the prohibition in Islamic religious law against a woman working in private premises with a man who was not her close relative. Breastfeeding, he argued, would create a familial relationship under Islamic law.

Dr Atiyaa explained to the Egyptian newspaper al-Watani al-Yawm that: "A man and a woman who are alone together are not (necessarily) having sex but this possibility exists and breastfeeding provides a solution to this problem (by) transforming the bestial relationship between two people into a religious relationship based on (religious) duties."

I just read this to my fiance and we both are ROFL. He rephrased it like this (apologies in advance): "So, a man and a woman alone together are in grave danger of having sex, but if she lets him suck her boobies, that danger is handily averted." Oh, boy.

So this can be done only with lactating women?

perhaps moistening the nipple with milk before sucking would suffice?

Would it have to be milk, or would any kind of body-shot count?

i'm pretty sure alcohol is scratched off the list.

Push the reasoning a little further and this would excuse doing Jello shots from her cleavage. Who says these wackadoos don't know how to par-tay?
