[quote]In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. QUOTE: In recent times a Muslim Scholar living in Swutzerland Dr. Tariq Ramadan has suggested that in those Muslim countries where the Hudood are applied, a Moratorium should be placed on these punishments such as beheading and stoning to death and Qata e yadd. I agree with Dr. Tariq Ramadan. Basically the concept of punishment is not to disable or beheading and stoning someone to death but a lesson for others to be more careful and vigilant. Therefore in Saudi Arabia bags and purses are seen on the roads for many days and nobody dares to pick that due to the sever punishment. GOD SAYS: And the recompense of evil deed is punishment proportionate to it, but whoever forgives and amends, he shall have his reward from Allah (42: 40). THE PROPHET (peace be upon him) said: The persons who forbear and forgive get the same degree (of merit) as those who keep the fast and perform the prayer. However, the victim has the right to forgive perhaps in all the cases and the forgiveness is more preferable than achieving the justice, to please God. But if the people do the punishable deeds assuming that they will ultimately be forgiven then we will have to think upon the second option (punishment) with the forgiveness still at the top. Sometimes the appellants forgive even the murderer just before hanging and the law remains bound to release the accused. What is the role of forgiveness in the cases of punishment of fornification (24: 2) and what about the four witnesses (4: 15)? Suppose four witnesses are not available which is not unusual then what must be the strategy to punish the accused.[/quote]
