“This nation are very lascivious and in need of sexual gratification. Every law instituted for them, be it by Muhammad or by any other god-fearing person, is despised and dismissed if it is not instituted according to their sexual pleasure. But a law that fulfills their desires, even if it is instituted by a nobody among them, they accept; and they say to each other: “this has been instituted by the prophet and messenger of god”.
