So where is the verse in the Quran that says rape is haram, please cite it for us.
Islamic law comes from two sources - the quran and the hadith.
In the case of rape,
the quran gives the generalised proscription for the respect and equality of women. The specific outlawing of rape is found in the hadith of Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4366:
Quote: Narrated Wa'il ibn Hujr:
When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (raped) her.
She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said: That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the Emigrants came by, she said: That man did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her.
She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him).
When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, I am the man who did it to her.
He (the Prophet) said to her: Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. But he told the man some good words (AbuDawud said: meaning the man who was seized), and of the man who had had intercourse with her, he said: Stone him to death.
He also said: He has repented to such an extent that if the people of Medina had repented similarly, it would have been accepted from them.
So what about the shia who reject Abu Dawud, do you have any other hadeeth you could try and pass off as outlawing rape that all muslims follow?
So what chance would a woman have in getting someone convicted for zina (illegal intercourse with consent) would it be zip zilch bugger all?
The word of a woman is less than half the word of a man so how can a man be convicted of zina on the word of 1 woman?
Quote:The prophet said-Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?
The woman said- yes
The prophet said-
this is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind.
www.sunnah.com/bukhari/52/22 There are only 4 ways someone can be convicted for zina and in your hadith the only reason he was stoned to death was because he
confessed to zina, if he denied it there is no way he would have been stoned to death on the word of 1 woman.
Quote:The scholars have listed the ways of establishing proof of zina,and there are 4 ways.
1. Testimoney of witnesses.
2. Admission of the parties concerned
3. Pregnancy of a woman who has no husband or master
4. If the husband engages in li'aan and the wife refuses to take part in li'aan.
Sheikh Munajid quotes from the Quran and hadith.
www.islamqa.com/en/88051 As we see in the UAE today under sharia law, a woman gets jailed for reporting rape if she does not have 4 male witnesses who saw the penis enter the vagina.
Google
UAE (or Dubai) rape victim jailed and read about all those western women who were jailed for reporting being raped without 4 witnesses.
