Why a Woman Would Receive Only Half the Diyah (Blood Money) That a Male Would Receive in Identical Circumstances? Why a woman would receive only half the diyah (blood money) that a male would receive in identical circumstances? Sundry issues: The questioner: Arezu Karimi Explaining of the question: In the name of God Hello, thank you for allowing us to ask our religious questions. I have always had many questions and doubts about women's rights in Islam. I have been searching but I have never found a convincing answer: Unfortunately despite the prominent status of the woman in Islam, women are not considered as a perfect human being and this case exists in many juridical and civil laws such as diyah; in cases that a woman is murdered by a man, the murderer will be executed if the victim's family pay the diyah of the murderer. Their excuse for this sentence is that a man is the family breadwinner; my question is that what the destiny of a murdered woman will be in case she is the family breadwinner? And how could a murderer be a real breadwinner for a family. The answer: Consideration of the following points is beneficial for clarifying some of dimensions of the issue: 1- Islam has a comprehensive and united system and the legal system is part of it. Islamic jurisprudence regards all the aspects of human life before birth until after death. According to this, we need to consider the general configuration and the major program in our general view and in the direction of our programs. So depending on some nuance points and regarding them independently without considering its overall structure and the macro plan will not achieve success; for example: today, the developed 1 countries are administered by specific tax system. Germany has established its economic system based on 16% tax in all the transactions. If someone objects for paying 16% tax to buy a match, it happens because of ignoring the macro plan of that country on which its economic system is established. So, since the law is generally legislated, the legislator observes the general interest exceptional cases and notes will not cause a violation of the general rule. 2- There are assigned some inescapable responsibilities in the Islamic law to the husband and the wife. For example the husband is responsible for the alimony, dwelling, food, clothes and paying the dowry of his wife. If his wife has had an independent supply and high status job, it will not be a problem if he don’t help her husband with the expenses; but from the juridical view, the husband is responsible for paying the house expenditures and he cannot force her wife to spend. But in case the wife is completely satisfied with helping her husband and improving the family condition, there will be no problem. But this responsibility is judicially assigned to the husband. 3- Atonement is the amount of money paid to the injured person by the injurer to recoup his / her injury. The amount of money does not depend on the status of the injured person. So it is wrong to say since the amount of the atonement of a woman is half of that of a man, the women’s value is half of the men’s value. The human's dignity and value depends on his / her characteristics and his / her educational position and deeds; and from this aspect men and women are equal. God says in the Holy Quran: فَاستَجابَ لَهُمرَّبُهُم أَّنِي ﻻ أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عامِلٍ مِنكُم مِنذَكَرٍ أَو أُّنثى ّبَعضُكُم مِن ّبَعضٍ«. Then their Lord answered them, ‘I do not waste the work of any worker among you, whether male or female; you are all on the same footing. Sura Al-i ‘Imran, the verse 95. 2 According to this, human is valued by his / her humanity and amount of acquiring nearness to God. The gender is not important; men and women are equal and perhaps women have a better capacity. Atonement doesn’t mean assigning price for the people or their personalities. That is why if one of the eminent political or scientific characters is unintentionally killed, his atonement would be equal to a day laborer killed in the same way. It is wrong to say that the lack of that prominent figure leads to imbalance in the society and his atonement must be more! Intentional killing is a mortal sin and the atonement is the same whether the victim is a man or a woman. God says in the Holy Quran: مَنقَتَلَ ّنَفساً ّبِغَيرِ ّنَفسٍ أَو فَسادٍ فِي اﻷَرضِ فَكَأَّنَما قَتَلَ النّاسَ جَمِيعاً وَ مَن أَحياها فَكَأَّنَما أَحيَا النّاسَ جَمِيعاً«. whoever kills a soul, without [its being guilty of] manslaughter or corruption on the earth, is as though he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves a life is as though he had saved all mankind. Sura al-Ma'idah, the Verse 32. This rule that the women’s share in the atonement is half the men’s share is not valid in every case. The Woman’s atonement is equal to that of a man when it is less than one third of a man’s atonement; For example: the atonement amount is the same; weather one finger is cut from a man or a woman, if two or three fingers of a women are cut the atonement amount will be equal to the atonement amount of a man for three fingers. But if woman’s atonement is more than one third of a man’s atonement, it will become half the atonement of a man. (Al-Nihayah, Shaykh Tusi; Qawaeed al-Ahkam, Allamah Helli, vol 3, p 594; as well in al-Fawaed, Fakher al-Haqqin,vol 4,p 571; Majmaa al-Faeeda Wa Al-Borhan, Mohaqeq Ardabili, vol13, p 452 Mota Malek ,vol 2,p 854.) This issue has also been discussed in the inheritance subject. In some cases in the inheritance subject there is no difference between the man and woman share. For example the mother and the father of the deceased person receive the equal share that is one sixth of the inheritance And there are cases which the share of a woman is more than a man, for example if the heirs are two people comprise of the daughter and the father of the 3 deceased person; then the father receive one sixth and the daughter receive the five sixth of the inheritance. 4- Islam has assigned the economic affairs of the family to the man. And the woman is freed from this responsibility. Since the atonement is for recouping and recovering some of the compensation made on the hurt family and that is the man economically has the main role in the family, the full atonement is taken for the man. A person might ask, what will be the verdict if the woman is responsible for the economic affairs of the family? The answer is that the law has been legislated and implemented generally, and such exceptional cases will not be a reason for abolishing law or considering any exceptions. Of course, even in such cases the economic affairs of the family is assigned to the man and he cannot flee from the burden of it. 5- The decree of reducing the woman’s atonement doesn’t mean to underestimate the women’s right to live. This rule has been legislated considering the economic policies of Islam and the responsibilities of both man and woman that recognize man as the first person assignee for the economic affairs. Man and woman have the same right to live. That’s why; if a man kills a woman, the man will be sentenced to death on condition of paying the half the atonement. The lawgiver wouldn’t force the family of the dead to accept half the atonement or forbear the nemesis. This means that atonement is not the matter of the right to live and or of the economic consequences that have been considered. A man comparing a woman is physically stronger and economically more tangible; so more hardship may be felt in his absence comparing a woman's absence, otherwise both are human in nature and have the equal right to live. Al-Qada Fi al-Fiqh al-Islami, p 73. 6- By enforcing the Islamic laws in all dimensions, we will achieve the equality between man and woman; because a man inherits twice the share of a woman; but he is responsible for the family economic affairs and he is responsible for the current expenditures (food, dwelling and clothing); the woman can keep her share for herself and expand it the way she likes. 4 Accordingly, woman is not responsible for the economic affairs and has no obligation towards the house. Consequently woman sometimes gain more personal share than man. Considering this comprehensive view, a full equality in the family system will be achieved. Sometimes, woman makes some decisions to solve some of the family economic problems based on her emotional and ethical perspective. But legislatively she is not responsible for solving them. 7- The matter of ‘woman receives half the man’s atonement’ has been discussed in juridical books since long time ago. Sheikh Tusi mentions this matter then presents it as the opinion of all Sunni and Shia jurisprudents except two of them. And he ascribes his opinion to the consensus of Ulama and some of the narrations. Refer to Ahkam al-Quran, Ahmad Ibn Ali Al-Jasas, vol 2, p 238, al-Mabsout, Shams al-Din al-Sarakhsi, vol 26, p 79, al-Hidayah, Abu al-Khattab al-Kaludhani, vol 8, p 306.

People benefited from their light according to their merits and capabilities. Among those few eminent personalities the name of Shaykh Tusi tops the list. In fact he has become immortal by sincerely sacrificing his whole life in search of knowledge and spreading Islamic teachings. Shaykh Abu Ja'far, Muhammad bin Hasan was born at Tus, one of the cities of Khurasan (Iran), in the month of Ramadan 385 A.H. At the age of 23 he left for Baghdad (Iraq) and acquired knowledge from the eminent scholars like Shaykh Mufid and Sayyid Murtadha. After completing his studies he started delivering lectures on Islamic Jurisprudence and its principles. A large number of great scholars used to attend his lectures and the number of his students reached up to 300. After the demise of his teacher, Sayyid Murtadha, in 436 A.H., Shaykh Tusi became the central figure of the Shi'ah world. The Shi'ah as well as the Sunni scholars acknowledged his supremacy in Islamic studies.

  • Beyond Radical Islam?
    BEYOND RADICAL ISLAM? SESSION ONE POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY AND THE DIVINE SOVEREIGN APRIL 16, 2004 MR. JERRY WEINBERGER: Good morning, everyone. I’m Jerry Weinberger, director of the LeFrak Forum and the co-director of the Symposium on Science, Reason, and Modern Democracy. On behalf of my colleagues Arthur Melzer and Dick Zinman, and on behalf of Hillel Fradkin and Eric Brown of the [Project on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World] in Washington, I welcome you all to this conference entitled “Beyond Radical Islam?” In the course of the unfolding war on terror, the view is often expressed, especially in the media, that the struggle between radical Islam and the West is really between the ideals of theocracy and disestablishment. According to the intellectual shorthand preferred by pundits, in the West in general, but especially and most fully in America, there is a rigid separation of church and state while, in Islam and Islamic law, there is no such separation. And for this reason, political pathologies in the Muslim world get expressed in the fanatical drive to replace secular regimes with clerical political rule. There’s always some truth to punditry. But, anyone who has read Tocqueville, the most penetrating thinker ever to comment on things American, must know that this easy dichotomy is misleading, at least as regards America. Tocqueville observed that in America, the juggernaut force of modernity, the passion for equality was moderated perhaps most importantly by the religion of the Americans. Christianity was in his eyes perhaps the most important political institution in the country, maintaining its influence on politics and civic culture paradoxically by way of its clerics’ complete refusal to compete for and hold public office.

Sometimes, these orientalists refer to some incorrect information to justify this rumor. One of those people is the German orientalist, Reiner Bruner. In this study, Bruner's viewpoints on both Shiite and Sunnites’ beliefs in the 20th century are discussed. In this study, Bruner’s viewpoints on the distortion of Quran are briefly analyzed and criticized. The method of this study is descriptive-analytical. Furthermore, based on authentic documents, this study responds Bruner's claims. In some of his works, Bruner has attributed the rumor of distortion to some early Shiite scholars. This article confirms that most Shiite scholars including the earliest and the most recent ones do not accept the distortion of Holy Quran. Most Shiite scholars believe that Quran is pure from any kind of distortion including additions or omissions and they refer to the verses of the Quran, the narratives of the Innocent Imams (Hadith) and the words of some greate Shiite scholars.

However, it is mentioned that his birth had already taken place by start of the imamate of the 11th Imam, which lasted from 254 A.H to 2560 A.H. Thus if he was 9-10 years old at this time, (an age when children begin to understand matters), then he must have been born around 250 A.H. He was born in the village of Kulain, about 38 kms from the Iranian city of Raiy, which was an important city at that time. His father was also a scholar. Thus Mohammed bin Yaqoob al Kulayni was born around 250Ah, which was the period of imamate of the 10th Imam, and then when he was a little older, it was the period of the imamate of the 11th Imam. Kunniyat: His kunniyat (agnomen) was Abu Ja’far. An interesting coincidence is that the name of all the three compilers of the 4 basic books of ahadeeth( al-kafi, Man la Yahdharuhul Faqih, Te- hdheeb ul ehkam and Istibsaar fi mukhtatafil akhbar) is Mohammed, and the kunniyat of all of them was Abu Ja’far.

  • Title: Assessing Apostasy, Blasphemy and Excommunication (Takfir) in Islam and Their Modern Application by States and Non-State Actors
    Title: Assessing Apostasy, Blasphemy and Excommunication (takfir) in Islam and Their Modern Application by States and Non-State Actors A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Masaki Nagata Supervised by Dr. Mohamed Elewa Badar Brunel Law School Brunel University June 2016 Abstract In certain contemporary Muslim majority states apostasy and blasphemy are not merely religious sins; they are acts which potentially have legal, or extra-legal, consequences. Although apostasy has not been criminalised in many such states, extrajudicial killings of apostates are carried out by some extremist groups and individuals. Such groups always justify these murders of fellow Muslims and non-Muslims on the grounds of apostasy and blasphemy. The concept and use of takfir (excommunication) is also a serious issue in Muslim majority states. Groups such as Daesh (also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) rely on takfir to attack fellow Muslims, despite there being no legal basis in Shari’a for the use of takfir or for criminalising apostasy. Although the concept was developed by people, not God, takfir are now being used to bypass rational human judgement. Their use plays a major role in many of the religious issues confronting Muslim majority states, such as the criminalisation of apostasy and blasphemy. This thesis analyses the central issues of apostasy, blasphemy and takfir collectively, as their history and their contemporary use and misuse by extremist groups are inextricably entwined. The key finding is that the right to punish apostasy and blasphemy and to issue declarations of excommunication (takfir), all originally reserved in Islam for God only, have been appropriated by man.

Besides al-Kulayni, al-Saduq, al-Mufid, al-Murtadha and al-Radi, a host of scholars specializing in various branches of Islamic learning contributed to the flowering of intellectual activity in the Shi`i Islamic world, laying down the foundations of a school that could be distinguished from other schools of Muslim thought. The above-mentioned scholars developed Imamiyyah kalam, the Shi`i school of hadith, and a unique approach to the Qur'an and tafsir, mainly based upon the teachings of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet. In `ilm al-kalam the Imamiyya approach is basically rationalist but free from the extremist strains of the Mu`tazili emphasis on reason and the anti-rationalist reaction of the Ash`arites.

Author(s): ● Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr [3] Publisher(s): ● Islamic Seminary Publications [4] Category: ● Hadith Sciences [5] Topic Tags: ● Islamic Jurisprudence [6] ● Ilm-al-Usul [7] ● Science [8] ● Shariah [9] Old url: http://www.al-islam.org/usul/ Preface In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful The subject under discussion is the knowledge of the Principles of Jurisprudence (Usul’ul Fiqh). The study of Principles of Jurisprudence is tantamount to a preparation to the study of Jurisprudence. The knowledge about the Principles of Jurisprudence is more profound than the knowledge of Jurisprudence itself. The relationship between the study of Jurisprudence and its Principles is the same as it is between the study of Logic and Philosophy. For example, everybody knows that the price of a certain commodity shows an upward trend while that of another remains static. This knowledge is superficial but the knowledge as to why the prices show an upward trend is a deep-rooted knowledge. The Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet gives us precise commandments and edicts to adhere to the teachings of Islam in every walk of life; but all of these commandments have not been explained in detail.
