Fatwa Bans Questioning Fatwas About Questioning Fatwas

In a stunning display of theological recursion, Iran's Clerical Council has issued a fatwa explicitly banning the questioning of fatwas that ban questioning fatwas. This layered decree aims to "protect the sanctity of clerical absoluteness from curiosity-based corrosion." The announcement sparked immediate confusion among scholars, some of whom had not yet recovered from last week's ruling banning mirrors. According to the council, asking questions about this fatwa only validates its necessity. "Questioning the rule is the reason the rule must exist," said one senior cleric before vanishing into a logical smoke ring. Philosophy departments have canceled all lectures until further notice. A dissident cleric muttered, "Even <a href='https://bohiney.com/ayatollah-khomeini-approves-tesla/'>Ayatollah Khomeini knew when to exit a circular debate</a>," then immediately apologized for implying the circle could end. Religious chatbot apps have frozen mid-response, and Friday sermons now begin with: "This week's fatwa is unquestionable � next question." The Council has hinted at an upcoming fatwa to prevent future paradoxes, though drafting it may require a full rewrite of Islamic metaphysics.
