CAIRO — A fatwa on the number of times a husband must have intercourse with his wife according to Islamic law, which was issued Oct. 5 by a Facebook page concerned with issuing unofficial religious fatwas, has sparked controversy in Egypt in recent days.
The fatwa came in response to a question posted by a Facebook user on the Qutooff Fem page, an unofficial body, saying that her husband avoids having intercourse with her and claims that it is not his duty to do so, and she is embarrassed to keep asking him.
