  1. Whenever I commit adultery, I am careful to limit the number of eyewitnesses to at most three. The ubiquity of webcams creates the inconvenience of having to frisk the witnesses for phones, tablets, Google glasses, etc..Do you think that I could get a fatwa to the effect that witnesses over the internet don't count as eyewitnesses?
