Re: Death Penalty for Not Praying?
what is Huqooq ul Ibaad?
There is a hadith that someone posted up in the thread I'm talking about where they say that Umer or someone said that they've been ordered to kill anyone who doesn't believe in God, offer prayers and zakat etc.
This hadith is being used to say that in the Hisbah Bill, it is okay for the mohtasib (ombudsman) to punish anyone who is not praying. Given the nature of the hadith, I'm guessing these guys think its ok to punish by violence, and that too supported by the State.
This is very disturbing to say the least.
