Rajm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rajm is an Arabic term that means to stone. According to most Muslims, stoning is the punishment of adultery (Arabic Zina) committed by a married man or woman with someone who is not legal to him/her. A minority of Muslims disagree, arguing that it can not be found in the Qur'an, and the practice goes against some verses, such as those in Sura an-Nur.
Among prominent hadith mentioning stoning is the Hadith of Umar's speech of forbidding Mut'ah and Hadith of the Verse of Rajm.
