I will try to shed some light on that. you might knock a scholar as well to know that. the problem is that you don't even believe that the shareeah law is divine and ALLAH knows well what ruling to be applied where and better than intellectuals of your like. you have little knowledge of Islam and you are writing pieces to modify shareeah. funny! you didn't even make reference of where you got those information with respect to rulings you used which is a basic standard of islamic write up. try to show and develop done respect to People who learn the detail of this. and please mention the rate of rape on those countries whom you think are strict with regard to their law. you pretend to be blind for a reason. <br /><br /><br />If rape is committed using the threat of a weapon or if the woman is abducted forcefully from her home, then it becomes a case of haraabah (banditry or terrorising the people), which is proven with two witnesses only. The punishment for it is mentioned in the verse in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):<br /><br />“The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter”<br /><br />[al-Maa’idah 5:33]. <br /><br />It should be noted that he becomes subject to this hadd punishment merely by abducting the woman forcefully, regardless of whether he has his way with her or not. So the judge has the choice of the four punishments mentioned in this verse, and may choose whichever he thinks is most suitable to attain the objective, which is to spread peace and security in society, and ward off evildoers and aggressors.<br /><br />Merely by abducting her he comes under the ruling of “qaati‘ at-tareeq” (lit. bandit); if he commits zina with her (rapes her), that his crime becomes more abhorrent because he has then combined two crimes: zina and haraabah. <br /><br /><br />So, if you are honest to yourself, shouldn't you amend what you have wrote?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
