Question : #1276

Category: Sexual Ethics & Morals

Subject:	mufa khathat
Question:	I just learned about mufa khathat, and it confuses me that great Ayatollah's like Khomeini and Sistani, find this act with minors permissible, Khomeini even says its acceptable with a suckling infant!Whatever time it is, whether the prophet's pbuh or ours, this act is unacceptable because its with a minor, its molestation. Can you please explain to me how this act can every be viewed as permissible? Where in Qur'an is it accepted? What hadith says this is appropriate? Why have our Shi'a ayatollahs made such an act permissible? I'm so confused and heartbroken to learn our leaders/marjas find this acceptable.
Answer:	Our Sheikh will respond to this question in the coming days Insha'Allah, check again soon
