[KAIRO] Seorang pemuka agama ultra ortodok di Mesir menjadi bahan pembicaraan dan cemoohan di media sosial lantaran mengusulkan fatwa yang terbilang aneh. Usama al Qawsi mengusulkan fatwa yang isinya "seorang pria diperbolehkan mengintip seorang wanita yang sedang mandi asalkan ia mau menikahinya". Fatwa yang mengundang kritikan pedas tersebut diunggah di jaringan berita al-Arabiya.

"Bila kamu jujur dan ingin menikahinya dan kamu bisa bersembunyi atau melihat sesuatu dari wanita itu secara rahasia, itu diperbolehkan sepanjang niat kamu murni," jelas al Qawsi.

Menteri Wakaf Mesir, Mohammed Mukhtar, menyatakan usulan al Qawsi itu sebagai omongan kosong. "Dimana letak martabat pria bila mengintip wanita mandi," geram Mukhtar.

Ia menambahkan apakah al Qawsi mengizinkan anak perempuannya yang sedang mandi diintip seorang pria. "Bila dia mengizinkannya bukan berarti itu bisa diterapkan di negara ini," tambahnya.

Usulan fatwa ini merupakan salah satu dari ajaran yang menyimpang. Kementerian Wakaf Mesir menyatakan telah melarang puluhan ribu pengkhotbah menjalankan kegiatannya karena tak memiliki izin dari pemerintah dan menangkap puluhan pemuka agama yang menyebarkan kebencian dan provokasi.

Egyptian cleric says men are allowed to spy on women in the shower

Osama al-Qusi sparks outrage by saying a man can secretly watch a woman wash if he is interested in marrying her

Men can spy on women in the shower, an extremist cleric has argued in Egypt, prompting outrage from other Islamic scholars.
According to Osama al-Qusi, a Salafist or ultraorthodox preacher, peeping toms can watch a woman wash as long as they are interested in marrying her.
"If you were really honest and wanted to marry that woman, and you were able to hide and watch her in secret, and see the things that she wouldn't usually let you see before marrying her, then it is acceptable as long as your intentions are pure," Qusi said in an online video translated by the al-Arabiya news network.
Qusi's words sparked heavy criticism from those who said he was using religion to win attention.
Egypt's minister for religious affairs, Mohamed Mokhtar, condemned the cleric "and his ilk", saying: "Where is the glory and masculinity in watching a woman shower? Would you allow this to happen to your daughter?"
Mokhtar stressed that fatwas, or Islamic edicts, should only be issued by qualified clerics, and denounced Qusi's claims as anathema to Islam.
The minister also confirmed plans to launch a grassroots campaign against both atheists and Islamic extremists. He has already banned tens of thousands of unlicensed preachers, accused of extremist teachings, from working in Egyptian mosques.
In recent years, oddball clerics in Egypt have regularly been ridiculed for hardline statements. One called for the destruction of Pharaonic icons, while another said Muslims should not drive Christian priests to church. But such pronouncements are considered far from mainstream Islamic belief.
