Re: The concept of being Stoned to Death
US Resident, i am not a exactly student of any institute rather an individual trying to pick up things best to my understanding. So here is what i am thinking reading yours and khanabax interaction.
You are specifically asking for an ayat which talks about rajm. There is one about flogging for sure. Now we agree that flogging is an islamic hud. But nowhere accepting this ayat means that rajm is not a hud for married people. Since flogging is used for fornicators. Then the hadith which is mutwatir or if u please as consistent as Quranic verses say that rajm is a hudd. Makes me think. Besides what is the scholars take on it? They are best equipped to deal with questions like this, to my understanding rajm is declared islamic hudd under all muslim doctrines, including four imams. So i dont deem myself educated enough to contradict with them without any solid reason just because there not an ayat stating about rajm. As i said to someone earlier, Quran e pak is a book of guidance not of shariah law. We have to look at sunnat and sahabis as examples.
PCG i dont think the hadith and ayat are exactly contradictory. What i wrote above is my take on the topic.
