Prominent Egyptian cleric labels Facebook users 'sinners' and says
site 'endangers Muslim family' -paper.

DUBAI - A prominent Egyptian cleric has issued a fatwa forbidding
Muslims to use Facebook, blaming the popular social networking site
for rising marital infidelity and divorce, Daily News Egypt reported
on Sunday.

Sheikh Abdel Hamid al-Atrash labelled those using Facebook “sinners”
and said the site “endangers the Muslim family”, the newspaper
reported, citing an interview in London-based daily Asharq Alawsat.

"It's an instrument that destroys the family because it encourages
spouses to have relations with other people, which breaks Islamic
sharia law,” Atrash, former head of the fatwa commission at Cairo's
Al-Azhar University, was quoted as saying.

"While one or other of the spouses is at work, the other is chatting
online with someone else, wasting their time and flouting the sharia.”

Atrash went on to say: "While they (social networking sites) permit
the spread of Islam, they allow people forbidden love and relations.
That is why whoever uses such websites must be considered a sinner.”

The fatwa comes days after a study by Egypt’s National Center for
Social and Criminological Research (NCSCR) that found one in every
five divorces in Egypt is caused by extra-marital affairs started on
Facebook or other social networking sites.
