Still, it hinges upon the discretion of the ruler and that was my point.It's not my argument. In Sharia law theirs three major types of punishments that is Huduud, Qisaas and Tacsiir. And when there is difference of opinion on matters we will choose the strongest one.
It’s not an ciyaar whatsoever.Diinta ciyaarta kadaa
It seems to me you have a problem with the whole concept of "Ta'zeer", I didn't invent it. Go argue with the Sahaba, the Salaf and the Khalaf.Still, it hinges upon the discretion of the ruler and that was my point.
The strongest one doesn’t exist. A Salafi will tell you his argument is the strongest. A traditional Hanafi, Maliki ect will tell you his is the strongest.
Allah swt has consistently warned the judges and rulers from committing injustices in the Quran. If a judge or a ruler uses the Quran and the Deen in a wrong way he will pay the price and it's only his responsibility. The Deen has no limitations.It’s not an ciyaar whatsoever.
Using the fitnah argument is legitimate by some and is often used by some to stop people from doing things that could technically be halal.
I’m the last person that would play around with the deen.
Showinf your knees is not haram as a man, if a man wears tight trousers like some men wear skinny jeans nowadays or shorts which show his thighs or goes around topless without his shirt then the country in question can decide what kind of measure they will take against himt to prevent it happeningSo men who show their knees will go court and get punished?
Angelina we both know a kneecap is a fitna for 0 women. in fact even a man showing his thigh isn't even a fitna for women.@Hamzza
Even better, the fitnah argument could be used, even if there was unanimous agreement that men can show their knee, the ruler could decide its a fitnah for the ladies LOOOL.
Most madhaahib do not consider the knee awrah, in the shafici madhab the knee is not considered awrah, its a minority opinion that the knee is awrahThere are differences of opinion. Hence since it’s the rulers decision, supposedly he can, going by your argument.
No because a ruler does not come to the decision himself, he will have a discussion with a commitee of qualified scholars, lok at he situation of his country he is in, and then make a fair decision based on the Quran and sunnah.Still, it hinges upon the discretion of the ruler and that was my point.
The strongest one doesn’t exist. A Salafi will tell you his argument is the strongest. A traditional Hanafi, Maliki ect will tell you his is the strongest.
it depends on the madhab but still in hot muslim countries 99 % of women cover their awrah but men don’t cover their especially if they go to the beach or just wear shorts that go just a bit above their knee. Male modesty isn’t held to the same standard as female modesty which is wrong. like the picture i posted of liido, all the women are covered but the men are topless or wearing shorts that show their thigh. but nobody mentions that?Showinf your knees is not haram as a man, if a man wears tight trousers like some men wear skinny jeans nowadays or shorts which show his thighs or goes around topless without his shirt then the country in question can decide what kind of measure they will take against himt to prevent it happening
I haven't noticed that but if what you are saying is true then it shouldn't be that way.it depends on the madhab but still in hot muslim countries 99 % of women cover their awrah but men don’t cover their especially if they go to the beach or just wear shorts that go just a bit above their knee. Male modesty isn’t held to the same standard as female modesty.
LOOLNo because a ruler does not come to the decision himself, he will have a discussion with a commitee of qualified scholars, lok at he situation of his country he is in, and then make a fair decision based on the Quran and sunnah.
AN example of this is in Umar ibnul khattabs time their was a very handsome man who was causing fitna to a women just by his face, so Umar ibnul khattab exiled him from the land.
The point of this, is that he was cuasing a fitna by his beuaty for the women and therefore should leave and protect women from fitna.
whats so funnyLOOL
The example of umar. if he was such a fitna for women doesnt it contradict your point you were saying that women have much less sex drives than men? maybe it just depends on how you look.whats so funny
Did I say women have No sex drive at all or women have less sex drive than men?The example of umar. if he was such a fitna for women doesnt it contradict your point you were saying that women have much less sex drives than men? maybe it just depends on how you look.
Nope, I literally don’t. I already knew iit’s existence. It’s needed.I’m It seems to me you have a problem with the whole concept of "Ta'zeer", I didn't invent it. Go argue with the Sahaba, the Salaf and the Khalaf.
The strongest opinion is that of the qadi and the madhab of the society. That is my point.The strongest one exists, since there is no one Ummah today the Qadi will rule what the conscience in the sect of that country is.
That is what I meant by the discretion of the ruler. There is indeed a difference of opinion when it comes to Knees. That is a fact.No because a ruler does not come to the decision himself, he will have a discussion with a commitee of qualified scholars, lok at he situation of his country he is in, and then make a fair decision based on the Quran and sunnah.
Okay, that doesn’t disprove my point.AN example of this is in Umar ibnul khattabs time their was a very handsome man who was causing fitna to a women just by his face, so Umar ibnul khattab exiled him from the land.
Is that sahih. People can’t help how they look. Are you telling me someone who was born very handsome should be exiled from family because Allah created them this way?The point of this, is that he was cuasing a fitna by his beuaty for the women and therefore should leave and protect women from fitna.
It is still an opinion. Even IslamQA mentions it is a valid opinion although they believe it isn’t Awrah. They mentioned it as clear it is one that is of weight.Most madhaahib do not consider the knee awrah, in the shafici madhab the knee is not considered awrah, its a minority opinion that the knee is awrah
Lets say the scholar takes the minority opinion for whatever reason, he woud have to deduce how much of a fitna and how much harm would be caused by a man showing his kneecaps in public, as it is not the same as a women wearing revealing clothes. My point is every Islamic ruling has a different purpose and hikma behind it, so it should be treated accorddingly.That is what I meant by the discretion of the ruler. There is indeed a difference of opinion when it comes to Knees. That is a fact.
It is sahih, also whats your problem, just because a person can't help how he looks doesn't mean anything, they are still a fitna to society, someone who is causing a massive fitna to the society should be consulted by people of knowledge and they should decide the best possible action, this is a case specific situationw we are looking at, not a general ruling of exiling, my point was, a ruler has to look at the context of the situation and make a ruling even if it doesn't have a black and white Islamic ruling, a ruler can even ban something halal if it causes something haram.Is that sahih. People can’t help how they look. Are you telling me someone who was born very handsome should be exiled from family because Allah created them this way?
He wouldn’t have to deduce anything. If that is the overwhelming opinion of his madhab and scholars, that is what they’d go with. The opinion is a valid one among certain madhabs and scholars as IslamQa pointed out.Lets say the scholar takes the minority opinion for whatever reason, he woud have to deduce how much of a fitna and how much harm would be caused by a man showing his kneecaps in public, as it is not the same as a women wearing revealing clothes.

Fascinating. Really interesting read. He must of been ridiculously handsome if the women of Medina who during that time were incredibly pious but found him too good looking.It is sahih, also whats your problem, just because a person can't help how he looks doesn't mean anything, they are still a fitna to society, someone who is causing a massive fitna to the society should be consulted by people of knowledge and they should decide the best possible action, this is a case specific situationw we are looking at, not a general ruling of exiling, my point was, a ruler has to look at the context of the situation and make a ruling even if it doesn't have a black and white Islamic ruling, a ruler can even ban something halal if it causes something haram.
I'm talking about the measures he takes to prevent someone from doing it, a ta'zeer punishmnet is based on the judge and therefor needs to take into account the context of the society we live inHe wouldn’t have to deduce anything. If that is the overwhelming opinion of his madhab and scholars, that is what they’d go with. The opinion is a valid one among certain madhabs and scholars as IslamQa pointed out.
