I find the paragraph following 'Javed Ahmad Ghamid' difficult to understand. Perhaps one of the editors on this page could review it for clarity? CaughtLBW 17:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Views: majority of Muslims?

Under views, the following sentence bothers me, and I have requested a citation as it sounds POVish:
The most common Muslim view is that stoning is the appropriate punishment for adultery (Arabic Zina) committed by a married man or woman with someone who is not legal to him/her.
Most common entails that a study has been performed, and needs to be referenced here. If there is no response, I'll edit the section to conform to NPOV and verifiability.--Scotchorama 18:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hadith

The mentioned hadith has not been quoted completely. The part of the stoning has been omitted. The correct hadith should be as follows:

'Ubada b. as-Samit reported that whenever Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) received revelation, he felt its rigour and the complexion of his face changed. One day revelation descended upon him, he felt the same rigour. When it was over and he felt relief, he said: Take from me. Verily Allah has ordained a way for them (the women who commit fornication),: (When) a married man (commits adultery) with a married woman, and an unmarried male with an unmarried woman, then in case of married (persons) there is (a punishment) of one hundred lashes and then stoning (to death). And in case of unmarried persons, (the punishment) is one hundred lashes and exile for one year.
