In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Fatwa on Honour Killings based on Quraan
By Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Many Muslims feel pain/hurt due to their own daughters/sons or sisters/brothers
go against their wills and marry someone else or go against the
Quraanic teaching and living without marriage. It is natural to feel
pain, but people must be patient in all cases including this and no one
is allowed to take laws into their own hand. Honour Killing is totally against the Quraan and those who do this act are unjust and don’t deserve to be called as Muslims rather Hypocrites and they deserve severe punishment for this unjust killing based on the Quraan.No matter what, all Fatwas must be based on the Quraan, since the Commands / Decisions / Directives / Judgments) is for Allah only and none can change his words, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.057, 010.015 – 016, 013.031, 018:026-027).Punishment for Adultery - Stoned to Death or 100 Lashes: Why Adultery when Marriage is Legal?
t
is a matter of bringing a new life NOT taking life, and a baby may be
born because of this adultery (Rape). Persons involved in adultery must
be put into accountability as well, in case of a child is born and
Government must punish them to take all the responsibilities of the
born child and Government must keep an eye on them for the whole life,
unless they completely repent. Keep in mind, in case of stone to death
these burdens of child expenses etc. will be passed on to the rest of
the community which is totally unjust and not fair to the community.Man and Woman both need to be investigated thoroughly and scientifically (Medical Test) as well:
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication flog each of them with a hundred (100) stripes:
Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by
Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the
Believers witness their punishment, (AL_Quraan_024.002).Punishment for False Blame on Sex:
And
those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four
witnesses (to support their allegations), flog them with eighty (80) stripes;
and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked
transgressors; unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct);
for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, (Al_Quraan_024.004-005).Restrictions to marry with the followings:
Forbidden
unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and
your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's
daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster mothers, and
your foster sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your stepdaughters
who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have
gone in but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you
(to marry their daughters) and wives of your sons who (spring) from
your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two
sisters together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in
the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. And all married women
are forbidden unto you except those (captives) whom your right hands
possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all
beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest
wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying
them) give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for
you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done).
Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise. And whoso is not able to afford to
marry free, believing woman, let them marry from the believing maids
whom your right hands possess. Allah knows best (concerning) your
faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so, wed them by permission of
their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being
honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct, (Al_Quraan_004.023-025).Do
NOT marry unbelieving women (idolaters), UNTIL they believe: A slave
woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she
allures you. NOR marry to unbelievers UNTIL they believe: A man slave
who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you.
Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His
Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs
clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise,
(Al_Quraan_002.221).Remember: No Marriage is Marriage if it is for fixed period of time
(No Mutah), so don’t Fool Our Sisters. In reality Marriage is a blessed
permanent contract between a man and a woman for the whole life and
comes under boundary limit as commandment by Allah BUT in an exceptional cases allowed to divorce with full fairness, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.229 / 004:019, 035 / 070:029-031).No
Muslim is a Muslim if one takes laws in his/her own hand and unjustly
kill or hurt anyone including for Honour Killing/Adultery/Blasphemy.
He/she don’t deserve to be called as Muslim rather a Hypocrite, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.044-047).If Quraan cannot convince you nothing will: None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah BUT those who Disbelieve ..., (Al_Quraan_040.004).The command is for none but Allah, (Al_Quraan_018:026).
Hypocrites read the Quraan but practice something else.
