MUST READ: RAJM: STONING THE ADULTERERS

Rajm: Stoning the Adulterers

Recently there has been intense comment o­n the Islamic injunction of Rajm or stoning to death the adulterers. If adultery -zina– committed by married persons is proven o­n the basis of Shar’i evidence, the Hadd (prescribed punishment) of Rajm is applied.

The validity of Rajm is based o­n all the Sources of Islamic Law (the Shariah of the Qur’aan). There has NEVER been the slightest difference of opinion among the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah regarding the validity of Rajm. There is complete Ijma’ (Consensus) of the Ummah o­n the validity of the Hadd of Rajm.

Denial of Rajm is kufr—kufr which expels the denier from the fold of Islam. This naseehat is for Muslims—those Muslims who have been thrown into doubt and confusion by the many modernist munaafiqeen lurking within the folds of the Ummah. These modernists who happen to be the agents of the Western Kuffaar as well as the agents of Shaitaan have abortively attempted to refute the validity of Rajm. In their exercise of kufr, they have failed.

They will not gain recruits and followers for their kufr from the rank and file of the Ummah. O­nly those who have been condemned to kufr by Allah Ta’ala entertain views of kufr. To appease the kuffaar, the munaafiqeen present utterly baseless arguments to refute Rajm so as to make their peculiar brand of ‘Islam’ palatable and acceptable to their western masters. Such people have been born in kufr and lead lives of kufr even if they were born in the homes of Muslims and they bear Muslim names.
