Interesting Psak: eating when very hungry

I debated whether to call this "headline fo the day" or "interesting psak". I went with "interesting psak" because it is more descriptive of this entertaining story.

I don't know if Arab Muftis publish detailed responsa analyzing the entire topic when issuing a "halachic" decision, or if they just make a pronouncement of their decision and that's it.

An Arab Muftu from Saudi Arabia, Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, has issued a psak that if a man is unusually hungry, to the extreme, he would be allowed to eat his wife, or parts of her.
source: NRG

Obviously do not follow a psak publicized on the Internet without further clarification.

  1. The best part is that this is his Pshat in ודבק באשתו והיו לבשר אחד. Although, apparently, he later denied the fatwa.

  3. It's a fake; apparently it appeared in some Arabic version of The Onion, and it grew legs from there.
