There is no Facebook fatwa

There probably should be — or at least a fatwa against people who use Facebook as an alternative to email, thus adding another thing to check — but the report going around about al-Azhar issuing a fatwa against Facebook does not appear to be true. Marc Lynch has done the public service of debunking the story, so take heed.

the link from haaretz actually mentions that Marc Lynch disagrees. I think it was first reported on Arabic websites.
