Re: Death Penalty for Not Praying?
Also to take it one step further, does the State have the right to interfere in private affairs and mandate that everyone go read namaz at the perscribed times? Is there such a provision in the Shariat that there should be some sort of force team that goes so far as to enter homes and accost people on the street to stop what they are doing and to go pray?
Was there ever such a system in place during the Golden Age of Islam, or in the Prophet's time?
