Dr Shabbir:
This Mullah is as JAAHIL, bigoted and malicious as others. He throws FATWA with impunity while he himself is wrong.
FOUR WITNESSES WHERE?
- SPREADING LEWDNESS
4:15 (Protection of honor and chastity for men and women, both, is the cornerstone of a virtuous society. 17:32, 4:24.) If any woman or a group of women spread sexual immorality or lewdness in the society, it is required that the appropriate court take four reliable witnesses. If their testimony corroborates with other evidence (12:26), confine them to their houses (since immorality is as contagious as good conduct). This confinement would be for an indefinite period, unless such women seek the way of God (such as repentance and reform or that the singles among them get honorably married). [Maut, literally death, has been translated as indefinite period in agreement with Jurjani and Raghib]
4:16 If the two of you spread such immorality or lewdness in the society, punish both of them (as determined by the appropriate court of law). But if they repent and mend their ways, leave them alone. God is the Acceptor of repentance, Merciful.
- SLANDERING CHASTE WOMEN
24:4 (Protecting the honor of a woman is extremely important.) Those who accuse chaste women and then fail to produce four witnesses (the court of law shall order to) carry out eighty lashes to such accusers. And never in the future accept their testimony. They have drifted away from morality. [24]
24:5 Except those who afterward repent and reform. For God is Forgiving, Merciful.
NO EYE WITNESSES REQUIRED FOR RAPE
Rape does not require four witnesses but ask any Mullah and he will tell you that the Qur'an prescribes no punishment for rape!
RAPE: Most people think that the Qur’an prescribes no punishment for the rapist. But the Qur’an claims to be a well perfected Book and that it covers all things that were necessary to be revealed (Tibiyaanan likulli shayi 16:89).
The Qur’an does not use Zina-bil-Jabr (forced sex) for good reason since it prescribes grievous punishment even for harassing or bothering women. The term used in 33:60 derives from Rajf = Creating alarm = Bothering = Frightening = Harassing = Causing to tremble = Inciting fear. The punishment for men creating Rajf among women could vary from exile to slaying depending on the extent of Rajf caused by the accused.
33:60 Thus it is: If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is disease, and those who create turmoil in the City do not desist (from maligning women), We shall give you control over them (O Prophet). And then they will be your neighbors for no more than a short while.
33:61 Accursed, they shall be seized wherever found and slain one and all.
33:62 That was the way of God among those who lived before. And never will you find any change in God’s way.
Wassalam,
