Women / Re: Husband can beat ( not severe ) his wife

« Last post by Wakas on February 19, 2023, 09:25:03 PM »

Thanks for your thoughtful work, brother Wakas.

Thanks.

The example of 58:1-4 seals the deal for me, so to speak.

"cite them" is by far the most cogent understanding as per Quran.

General Discussions / Re: Flogging Punishment And As A Deterrence.

« Last post by Wakas on February 19, 2023, 09:15:06 PM »

peace,

Question: let's say it means lashes as punishment, witnessed by a group/community, what if the lashes were so severe that they tore the clothes of the person being lashes and thus exposed their body in a non-Quranic manner?

The point of my question: to my understanding public lashing is the punishment for a proven case, in a community governed by Quran-based authority BUT the lashes cannot be severe enough to tear clothing, so they would hurt but not extreme. Part of the goal seems to be public naming/shaming which is a deterrent in itself.


####

Interesting sidenote:

When lashes are given as punishment for proven adultery, The Quran states not to let pity/compassion prevent you from carrying out such a punishment [24:2], but it says no such thing for the alleged hand cutting-off verse, when many (all?) consider this punishment to be far worse. Please explain why this is.

Women / Re: Husband still has to pay all charges related to family?

« Last post by Wakas on February 19, 2023, 08:41:01 PM »

peace Ayman, TS,

My Quranic understanding is the default role of the husband is as breadwinner/maintainer HOWEVER it can be modified depending on what the couple agree on prior to marriage and/or in the marriage contract. See here for references:
https://misconceptions-about-islam.com/misconception.php?id=40
http://www.quran434.com/wife-beating-islam.html#part2

If she wants to work and there is no financial reason to, then she needs to obtain her husband's permission to do so.

Instead of saying "she needs to obtain her husband's permission" I would clarify to "it depends on what was mutually agreed upon prior to marriage and/or in the marriage contract". If either party wants to deviate from that contract then they must seek permission from the other.

General Discussions / Al Quran Vs What We Know & Practice

This channel repudiates - in the light of Al Quran - some false beliefs shared by the ummah almost unanimously.


Narration of history, quotes of the ancient, traditions passed on, copies of books - even written books - may somehow change, as time flows. Yet, Al Quran - the book of Allah - remains pure, and unaltered. For that, no one deserves much credit except that Allah has willed to preserve it. If doubt ever crosses our mind, the logical coherence of the Holy Quran reaffirms our faith. Only the fools - who perceive not - see any non-existent inconsistency. If anything else - anything at all - contradicts clear verses of Al Quran, then, even if the entire universe believes in it, Al Quran speaks the truth, while that thing is - surely - a lie. Allah is free from any need of the universe.
