Quote:Please quote the verses in the quran that prescribe stoning to death for married women that commit adultery.
This is not related to our topic at all, if we suppose that this girl was a Muslim then she should not be stoned for falling in love as the article mentioned. plus i've clearly states that <b>stoning to death was prescribed for married women who commit adultery. not for people who fell in love John. </b> we have nothing to hide john... Islam prescribes that both adulterer and adulteress should be stoned but it does not inflict such punishment <b>unless they are married persons and upon conclusive evidence by four eyewitnesses.</b>
I think you wrongly imagine that such punishments will be inflicted every day. You also think that the Islamic society indulges in daily executions of flogging, hand-cutting, and stoning. <b>But the fact is that such deterrent punishments have been executed very rarely.</b>
Anyway, there is no mention in the Qur'an about stoning to death, this law was specified in the Shari`ah for the married adulterer or adulteress, it is stoning to death. In <b>the Kuwaiti Encyclopedia of Islamic Jurisprudence</b>, we read the following:
Quote:Ibn Qudamah wrote: “Muslim jurists are unanimous on the fact stoning to death is a specified punishment for married adulterer and adulteress. <b>The punishment is recorded in number of traditions and the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stands as an authentic source supporting it. This is the view held by all Companions, Successors and other Muslim scholars</b>...”
