=== Adultery === | |||
The Qur'an states that women found guilty of adultery should be confined to house arrest until death or mysteriously 'God ordains another way'. There is no equivalent verse of this nature for men: | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|4|15}}|Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way. And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both.}} | |||
Though most scholars believe the above verse (Quran 4:15) was [[Naskh (Abrogation)|abrogated]] by the punishment of 100 lashes in Quran 24:2, or stoning from the hadith (such as {{Bukhari|9|92|432}}and {{Muslim|17|4194}}) for both men and women: | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|24|2}}|The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of Allah, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day.}} | |||
