Stoning to death: A response to sister's Fahmida's article  

To: editor@shodalap.com

I agree to what was discussed in the article of sister Fahmida Rahman. Besides having the reference from sunnah, illegal pregnancy does not necessarily prove the adultury case.For recent events, we got example of cloning where adultery is not happening to any one of the contributors. Cloning itself may be brought under debate to what extent it may be permissible in Islam or whether it should absolutely be banned. The carriers or the so-called laboratory-mothers may  experience the procedure of cloning knowing nothing its averts or benefits or the rulings of halal-haram,unless she is practising enough as a muslimah and so, careful too. Now-a-days what we see around us is such.Many a women are not practising but held a belief in Islam which may be described as weak iman.They may undergo the procedure of cloning,who knows! Anyway, the whole thing needs an extensive study and research.

WaAllaahu 'alam.

Shawkat Ara.
