Re: Is their a Quranic ruling for insulting and mocking Islam and Prophet (p.b.u.h.)
**
kakaji in usa** – It is very easy to ‘talk big’ while sitting comfortably in the USA.
Islam is a very practical religion for all times and places.
‘Blood money’ is one of the options for the ‘murdered person’s’ near ones. Other two being:
- Revenge – Blood for blood
OR
- Total forgiveness (No Blood for Blood or any Blood money)!
Blood money is a safety net for the deceased’s immediate family. It could a very young widow or an older lady with young daughters.
These venerable unskilled souls with no family support are easily pushed into life of begging or prostitution.
You must be well aware that in Hinduism widows are a curse and not allowed to remarry.
Now put yourself in the shoes of young unskilled Hindu widow with kids to feed – Your ghariat and honour will opt for the blood money rather than life of begging and prostitution.
Do you agree?
See for the plight of young widows in India – that’s the place of your origins, right?
