Shariah Law

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Im totally confused about things, this whole public and private matter.

like people would be allowed to commit adultry as long as they do it in a place that the people around them wouldnt be witnesses, so they can have like ***** houses and stuff

No, as long as their immorality does not SPREAD to the rest of society and no one knows about it. The condition for witnesses is only for the Hadd (prescribed) punishment of stoning for an individual who commits adultery.

So of course no one would be allowed to run such houses, if the government finds out it would be shut down and severe discretionary (ta'zîr) punishments would be delivered to those involved.

And people can be drunk as long as again noone sees them?

Well if no one sees them, how can anyone catch them to punish them?
They are sinning for sure, but since they are keeping their sin a secret, Allah swt will punish them, not the Islamic state. If it becomes public that they drank alcohol then they will get the prescribed punishment of 40 lashes.

Here's something to think about - if you happen to see someone take a sip of alcohol and no one else saw them, you are actually encouraged not to make it public but conceal their sin so that Allah swt will conceal your sin on the Day of Judgement. However, you can still advise them and warn them to repent sincerely to Allah swt.

As for non-muslims, they can drink alcohol so long as they keep such substances amongst themselves and do not make them accessible to the public nor harm others in any way.

Ok I got a question, its real quick,

I always hear everyone say tha if a person leaves Islam and keeps it to themselves then theres no punishment

But how can they keep it to themselves? Because they wont go mosque, they would eat pork and so on, so when someone asks the person lets go mosque and he is says 'no' everyday then the people would find out.

So what is meant by not telling anyone?

You can sort of fake it. i have a ton of agnostic friends and atheist friends who go to church simply to satisfy their family. i even have an atheist muslim friend who goes to mosque to satisfy his family. now of course that sort of is wrong lol, but no one will ever know they left islam. and i have an agnostic friend who used to be messianic jewish, and she still doesn't eat pork. so yeah.. i think it is much easier to be an ex muslim then we think lol. --- ex muslim who has the site --- , has family that are mullah's [whatever that is] and they visit all the time.. yet they still don't know that he is an ex muslim! lol

People might feel proud of that, but this is one of the worst things a person can do. The hypocrites will be the in the lowest pits of the hellfire, because they had the message right infront of them while pretending to follow it.

We don't practise this religion for the people, but for fear of the Creator so that we may gain His Mercy, and be rewarded with paradise insha'Allaah. And Allaah Almighty knows best.



Peace.
