Impracticability of Stoning from Six Perspectives
Journal Title: The Journal of Human Rights - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
After the Iranian revolution in 1979, the legislator has given a special attention to enactment and enforcement of religious corporal punishments, while human rights institutions have criticized the enforcement of such punishments, especially stoning, and considered them incompatible with international human rights system. Additionally, many citizens have some questions about such punishments. In this article, it is shown that from religious perspectives, and in accordance with almost all religious readings, enforcement of these penalties, especially stoning, is impractical and the legislator should reconsider the laws within the framework of Islamic law.
