According to reports, an Egyptian Islamic cleric has suggested that it is okay for men to actually marry their own daughters.
Identified as Mazen Al Sersawi, the Salafist cleric says Islam permits men to actually form carnal relationships with their illegitimate daughters (born outside wedlock) and possibly marry them.
Al Sersawi quoted a popular Muslim scholar, Imam Al-Shafi'i's saying that 'illegitimate daughters are not officially attributed to their fathers and thus can be married to them.'
In a video which has since gone viral, Sersawi, a teacher at the Al-Azhar University in Egypt, said Al-Shafi'i maintains that any girl born into an adulterous relationship is not exactly his daughter, especially because the child will not carry her father's name.
