In the there is prescribed for s*xual misconduct!! The fixed Qur'anic penalty for unlawful s*x (zina) is 100 lashes (24:2), and it requires four eyewitnesses (24:4).
Falsely accusing someone without that proof is itself punished with 80 lashes.
are mentioned only once in this context: Verse 2:187 tells those in i'tikaf (retreat) not to have marital relations while in the mosque. It sets no worldly punishment.
The Qur'an sets a very high bar for taking life: Verse 5:32 treats killing one soul unjustly as killing all of humanity, with exceptions for murder or spreading corruption (fasad).
for s*xual offences comes from later sources - 'AN - Stoning and similar penalties come from and classical jurisprudence. Ta'zir is a category of judicial discretion that developed, NOT a Qur'anic penalty.
⚠️ Since the act wasn't disclosed, it's also unclear that this was even zina, so the Qur'anic standard cannot be neatly applied either.
is is shared by many scholars, including Qur'an-centred thinkers. Traditional scholars counter that the Prophet's example is binding and explains the Qur'an, and that rulers may use ta'zir to protect the sanctity of sacred spaces. ⚠️ Even many traditionalists, though, say strict standards and fair rights must be met.
‼️Their ex*****on is NOT ACCEPTABLE!! THIS "punishment" is a incursion upon not only Islam itself but on these people's rights to a fair trial‼️ It seems more an expression of the and THEIR norms & country's laws, than that of Islam!!
This ex*****on and it is ‼️
