Question:
Assalaamualykum,
Please could you clarify the issue of rajm as understood by Ahlus Sunnah.
There are many narrations dealing with it but those opposed to Ahadith claim there are many contradictions among the Ahadith and even accusations that the verse of rajm was removed from the Quran!
If Ahadith regarding tahreef of Quran are to be rejected then why did scholars mention them in Hadith books?
I am confused reading through the Ahadith and would truly appreciate the help of experts in Ahadith to detail the explanation and authentic view of salaf since Hadith cannot be understood at face value without the correct knowledge.
May Allah grant Mawlana Shaykh Nazim good health and long life!
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
See: Stoning Verses and Abrogation.
However, beware of an important mistake:
“The hadd of adultery for the non-married is stoning.”
The above should read:
“The hadd of adultery for the married is stoning.”
