A Reflection upon the Doubts Cast over the Stoning Punishment in the Qur’an

This article aims to answer the most common doubts cast over the jurisprudential-quranic punishment of stoning. Putting jurisprudential arguments and tens of reliable hadiths about stoning aside, the author tries to investigate the doubts cast over the punishment of stoning and its rejection misusing the Qur’an. Lack of quranic evidence, conflict between the rule of stoning with Quran nur:2, conflict with Quran 4:15,25, abrogation of the quranic text by khabarwahid and manipulating the meaning of stoning are among the most prominent jurisprudential questions about stoning which are proposed through the Qur’an.
