Re: Sharia and Swat
It does state that the Qazi courts shall seek guidance from the Quran and the Hadis. However they can not be contrary to Pakistan Federal law.
Could you tell me where in the regulation it says that? its a lot of text to read through, I couldnt find anything that limited Qazi sahab's judgement of sharia to within the bounds of Pakistani federal law or even supreme court shariah bench rulings. and when you say contrary, thats an imprecise word that can be equivocated on. For example, both Pakistan Federal Law and shariah as interpreted by Qazi using his understanding of Quran/Hadis/Ijma/Qiyas/reknowned scholars such as Muslim Khan would regard robbery as a crime. One prescribes jail time, another prescribes cutting off the hand. Does this count as being contrary?
