Saudi Cleric Issues Fatwa Against All-You-Can-Eat Buffets

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/saudi-cleric-is...ts-1440275

A Saudi cleric named Saleh al-Fawzan has issued fatwa against all-you-can-eat buffets in Saudi Arabia. He made the statement on a Saudi Quranic TV station.

Fawzan said the value and quantity of the food sold should be pre-determined before hand.

"Whoever enters the buffet and eats for 10 or 50 riyals without deciding the quantity they will eat is violating Sharia (Islamic) law," Fawzan was quoted on al-Atheer channel.

Why advertise with us
The fatwa attempts to add plate piling eateries to the long list of things outlawed by religious edicts. It has been the subject of condemnation and debate on social media channels.

While some twitter users slammed the cleric's fatwa by using the hashtag "prohibiting-open-buffet" (in Arabic) others tweeted supporting it.

Here are some reactions for the fatwa against all-you-can-eat Buffets.

Hmm...maybe shariah law does have its benefits.

This edict probably has something to do with Saudi's ballooning obesity rates, by some accounts 70% (http://www.arabnews.com/news/527031). Obesity is everywhere in the Gulf area, the people don't work, don't exercise/walk because it's so hot outside, and consume tons of fast food. I remember reading that Qatar has the highest obesity rate in the world.

I'd like to diss nutty Saudi muslim clerics or sloth behaviour, but this fatwa has to be considered in context.

Last summer I was struck by the amount of fat, obese and out-of-shape Saudis, Kuwaitis & other Gulf state nationals I saw on vacation. Kids, esp boys, as young 12 years old were really fat.

Ahh obesity. America's #1 export and gift to the world. You're welcome.

I'd like to see Fatwas get abused more. Like "Resident Microsoft cleric issues Fatwa against playstation 4"

To those familiar with the research this will sound like beating a dead horse, but Middle East Fatness has more to do with genes than Mickey D's. Japan never got fat after allowing in KFCs and Pizza Hut's...

and culture and weather. Pampered sons allowed to hog on sweets. Brutally hot weather preventing outdoor exercise several months of the year. Egyptians like chubby girls. Ramadan is really a season of gluttony with huge late dinners and daytime slothfulness during the fasting period.

Seriously.
The point of Ramadan has been completely destroyed.
Even in my home country this is happening.

Only in the Middle East will you find MacDonald's in the gym. This one is in Kuwait. Oh the irony.

This is a top quality fatwah.

He should also put a jihad on telemarketers and fat chicks.

Looks like that Saudi Cleric discovered fatgirljihad.com. Another victory for the manosphere!

[RexImperator]

They actually have their own homegrown version of KFC called Al Baik, but I guess it doesn't change the fact that the U.S. did invent the fast food concept.

Yea but if it's like KFC you pay for a certain amount of food.

If you're telling me tehre's an all you can eat fried chicken buffet in Saudi Arabia, well then damn, they need some more fatwas quick.

Saudi Arabia actually has 68% of its citizens overweight.

This ranks it as the 29th fattest country in the world

PLEASE MORE FATWAS INSHA'ALLAH!

How about, "Cheeky little bitch convinces thirty White Knights to issue fatwa against Little Dark, but the fatwa is not the focus here."?

This thread has me dying.

Most Americans probably think a Fatwa is an Islamic Gyro.
