[edit] Islamic Rulings

This article seems to have an unclear scope or and no particular direction for expansion. It is unclear what an "Islamic Ruling" is – surely the article cannot discuss every decision made by an Islamic court. I suggest that this article be removed, and that the interested contributors focus on more specific, better-defined sub-topics. Twinxor t 06:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge variously to Sharia (the theft section), Polygamy, Apostasy in Islam, Homosexuality and Islam, and redirect to Fatwa. Gazpacho 11:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per above. --HolyRomanEmperor 15:10, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

• My suggestion is I guess that the artcile can be split into specific artciles. Polygamy in Islam being one. Theft In Islam being another. The ruling on leaving Islam another and then The ruling homosexuality in Islam another. What do you all think? MuslimsofUmreka 11:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge any useful content, per Gazpacho. - Mike Rosoft 13:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per the tomato soup man. And MuslimsofUmreka, I don't think we should have an article about "[every word in the dictionary] in Islam". Try contributing to the existing Islam-related articles until they get too large. Sandstein 17:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Who is expected to do the merge? Piccadilly 20:05, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
• Okay, here is what I am gonna do. I am gonna merge the artciles like everyone suggested. Before I do it, can somebody tell me the procedures for doing it, and the best method of doing? By best method I mean, which exact article should certain sections be moved too? I know there are some suggestions to move some sections to shariah and otehrs to fatawa. What does everyone think?

  • The article has four sections that correspond rather directly to the articles I listed. Gazpacho 23:59, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per Gazpacho. Green Giant 00:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge only the useful stuff. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 02:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
• Can somebody else do the merge thing. I'm still kind of new to this site and i'm not sure how exactly I should move the files and if I should change certain content on the other articles to make this one fit. MuslimsofUmreka 00:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge only the useful stuff per a.n.o.n.y.m --Khoikhoi 03:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• Changes thus far. The homosexualit ysection has been merged with Homosexuality and Islam, and the tehft sectio nis now in the shariah section. Waiting instructions on what to do with the restof the artcile on polygamy and leaving Islam. MuslimsofUmreka 05:04, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

By the way, how do I delete the article now. I dont think the rest of the stuff can be merged with anything. I would like to delete the article now. How do I do it? MuslimsofUmreka 20:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• An administrator will do it. Twinxor t 10:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
