Saudi women permitted to work in female accessories shops
2013-01-07
[Al Ahram] Saudi women will be permitted to work in shops selling female accessories as long as they are subject to the rules of Islamic Sharia, confirmed Abdel-Latif Sheikh, head of Saudi government committee "Promote Virtue and Prevent Vice" (PVPV) Saturday.
"Ah, yes. Women selling ladies' underwear. An interesting theological subject. Who better to sell to women than women? After all, they can't go consulting men about their scanties, can they? But women, seeing all those underpants and titties... I mean bosoms... I mean brassieres... and corsets... and... and flimsy night dresses... and... Victoria's Secret catalogs... and... and... Oh, Gawd! I must shoot off! I mean my gun! I must shoot off my gun...!"
Speaking to Saudi newspaper Al-Madina, Sheikh explained that the PVPV will be authorised to restrict women from this type of work if they violate Sharia law.
"In any.. [huffa puffa!]... in any [puffa!] respect, mind you! And we'll be stopping by the ladies' underwear places regularly to check up on 'em, you betcha!... Ow. I think I just hurt myself."
In December 2011, the Saudi grand Mufti issued a fatwa (religious edict) prohibiting women from working in accessories and lingerie shops describing the job as "criminal and disrespectful."
"You know what women are like with temptation!"
