asalamwalaikum,
in Iran and Saudi which both claim to derive their law from Quran and Hadith, adultery is punishable by death. However, in reading Quran i have read (4:15) that a woman is supposed to be kept in her house if she commits adultery and not killed.
4:15 Those who commit adultery among your women, you must have four witnesses against them, from among you. If they do bear witness, then you shall keep such women in their homes until they die, or until GOD creates an exit for them.*
although many Hadiths are considered weak or invalid, the Qur'an has never been changed.
***My question is, why would a law be decided by Hadith when the Qur'an says otherwise? any opinions?
Peace and blessings to all,
Sakina
ps i do not know Arabic yet.... so if my problem is the translation, please let me know
