One of the signs of the hour according to the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) is when man returns to the religion of his forefathers.
Islam essentially is no different from Christianity when it comes to breaking into smaller groups with weird beliefs and strange practices. The Muslim Druze (Lebanon) for instance believe that God reincarnates very similar to the Dalai Lama or the strange practices of the Alawites of Syria where according to a Syrian friend (Sunni); the Alawites collects the bath water of those whom they consider saints and drink it anyway; the proponents of this despicable law must be among these small groups that make their backward traditions part of Islam for legitimization. The Baha’i or even the Sheiks of India were at some point in times considered Muslims because they took some of Islam and mixed it with their traditions. This is one of the reasons why volumes of the so-called non-authentic traditions of the prophets are discarded because some people invent evil things and attribute it to the prophet but its inventors continue to adhere to it. I don’t believe this will ever be passed by the Egyptian parliament in fact its proponents may even be stoned by the people. It is a non-issue but it is so laughably strange and weird; it went viral in the net to further tarnish the good image of Islam.

Egypt's 'Farewell Intercourse' law allowing sex with dead wives sparks fury

London, Apr 27 (ANI): Egypt's new Islamist-dominated parliament is preparing to introduce a controversial lawthat would allow husbands to have sex with their deceased wives up to six hours after death.
Known as the "farewell Intercourse" law, the measure is being championed as part of a raft of reforms introduced by the parliament that will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 for girls.
Egypt's National Council for Women is campaigning against the changes, saying that 'marginalising and undermining the status of women would negatively affect the country's human development'.
Dr Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, wrote to the Egyptian People's Assembly Speaker Dr Saad al-Katatni addressing her concerns.
Egyptian journalist Amro Abdul Samea reported in the al-Ahram newspaper that Talawi complained about the legislations, which are being introduced under 'alleged religious interpretations'.he subject of a husband having sex with his dead wife arose in May 2011 when Moroccan cleric Zamzami Abdul Bari said marriage remains valid even after death.
