The reading precisely talks about the Islamic Law, elaborates on the legal material in the Holy Quran,

and

mentions that there is no systematic law code. Although Islamic obligations are mentioned in Quran but

information on how to perform them is not explicitly stated, for example hudood laws are not specified for

different situations. As in the case of adultery, the victim is required to present four witnesses to affirm against the

crime. Will the wrongdoers be free from the punishment of 80 lashes, if the crime takes place in private? These

Hudood laws have been difficult to comprehend. They have neglected to serve equity more often than not.

Hence with the different scenarios of new problems arising every day, is it legitimate to use Qur’anic legalization,

which was written in historical times? Moreover, if a Quranic verse explicitly states the punishment of a crime

(e.g. theft) and modern Islamic states add conditions to the application of that punishment (e.g. in Pakistan 3

witnesses are required and the stolen item should be of more than $100 in value) are we possibly overlooking

Quranic rules and not practicing them in their true essence?
