Islamic city council bans female flatulence in IndonesiaJasmin Mathew PhD · Mar 8th, 2013 · 22 Comments
An Islamic city council in the Indonesian province of Aceh, which follows Sharia, has banned female citizens from passing gas.
Sayyid Yahia, mayor of the city, told media that a ban was needed, as
farting does not go well with the Islamic values of modesty. “Muslim women are not allowed to fart with sound, it’s against Islamic teachings,” he
said. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Feminists Association told local media
they will attempt to block the smelly law as they deem it
discriminatory.
Talking to The Wadiyan, mayor Sayyid Yahia said the law aims to save
people’s morals and behaviors. “When you see woman fart loud, she
appears like a man. But if she sit sideways and pass it quietly, she
looks like a woman,” Sayyid said.
Although the proposed law does not ban “quiet fart,” passing gas with
sound is actually not uncommon in Southeast Asia, particularly for women
consuming potatoes and peas. Obviously, women maintain that they feel
healthier, farting loud. Fathima Khan, a medical doctor at the Al Banni
Islamic Hospital in Aceh’s capital is critical of the proposed law:
“There is no need to question this practice, let alone regulate it,
because people do it for their health and safety,” she said.
The mayor declined to give The Wadiyan details of what the punishment
would be for violators. While another member at the City council, who
wished not to be named, said if convicted by the sharia court, the
offender could receive 20 lashes for small farts and up to 3 months
prison time for larger ones.
On another note, the local Islamic scholars were mostly divided over the
law. Well-known Muslim activists like Bshar Abdulla voiced his
objection, “How to pass gas is not regulated in Sharia. There is no
mention of it in the Koran,” he said on his Twitter account. However,
“the Islamic tradition and the values of modesty does not support women
farting loud,” said Mehmood Hussain, a scholar and stenchy supporter of
the law.
Under the new regulation, the mayor says that only women in the public
space are going to be monitored. “It will be the responsibility of the
husband to make sure that his wife upholds Islamic values at home”. He
also argued that there is no scientific evidence supporting health
benefits of passing gas, in Koran.
The City council will be evaluating the regulation in a week, after which it could turn into a by-law.
