{{Quote|''Stoning and hand-amputation : the pre-Islamic origins of the ḥadd penalties for zinā and sariqa'' - Walter Young<ref>Walter Young, [https://escholarship.mcgill.ca/concern/theses/b2773v99h Stoning and hand-amputation : the pre-Islamic origins of the ḥadd penalties for zinā and sariqa], PhD thesis, 2005, McGill University, Montreal</ref>|Remarkably, not only stoning and hand-amputation, but nearly the entire range of Islamic adultery and theft legislation have pre-Islamic parallels. The nature of these parallels, however, does not conform to the paradigm of 'borrowing' from 'foreign' sources. Rather, Arab customary law - a major contributor to Islamic law in general - appears to have diverged from an ancient Semitic 'common source' once shared with other Near Eastern cultural entities. Most major elements of Islamic criminal law, including stoning and hand-amputation, therefore represent the culmination of an ancient Semitic common law.}} | {{Quote|''Stoning and hand-amputation : the pre-Islamic origins of the ḥadd penalties for zinā and sariqa'' - Walter Young<ref>Walter Young, [https://escholarship.mcgill.ca/concern/theses/b2773v99h Stoning and hand-amputation : the pre-Islamic origins of the ḥadd penalties for zinā and sariqa], PhD thesis, 2005, McGill University, Montreal</ref>|Remarkably, not only stoning and hand-amputation, but nearly the entire range of Islamic adultery and theft legislation have pre-Islamic parallels.
