00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			When all of this incident happened, I sent
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			messages to my Shuyukh and I said I
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			want to understand the hukum of such an
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:10
			individual who uses Qur'an to legitimize sexual
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			deviances with a child.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			And Amali.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			Amali is for example, somebody rips the Qur
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			'an.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Kafir.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			Absolutely Kafir.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			Somebody takes the Mus'haf and rips it.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			Kufr Amali.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			Likewise, when all of this incident happened, I
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			sent messages to my Shuyukh and I said
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			I want to understand the hukum of such
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			an individual who uses Qur'an to legitimize
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			sexual deviances with a child.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			What is the hukum of such?
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			So some of the most lenient answers I
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			got, and I have those audio recordings of
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			my Shuyukh.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			One of the sheikhs said to me, I
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			was going to say his name.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			He told me not to say his name.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			So one of the sheikhs said, this mas
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			'ala falls under the category of ta'zeer.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			You guys know what ta'zeer is?
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			Okay.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			You know what ta'zeer is?
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			So beautiful.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			So hukum ta'zeeri.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			So there are capital punishments.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			Allah has said, sealing, this is the punishment.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			Murder, this is the punishment.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			Now, there is a category of a sin
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			that has caused a massive impact.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			The sin itself is not something that will
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			lead you to a massive capital punishment.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:48
			But the nature in which it was done,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			the qadi or the judge or the hakim
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			or the ruler will decide whether this was
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			severe enough for you to get a capital
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			punishment.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			For example, somebody sold secrets of a state
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			to the enemy.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			That in itself, if you said, oh, you
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			know what, we have 20,000 people in
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			the army, it's not going to make a
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			big impact.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			But if you said, oh, this is where
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			our ammunition is attacked here, the two are
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			two different things.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			So similarly, in this particular case, the question
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			that I presented to the Sheikh was what
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			if somebody uses Qur'an and the ayat
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:35
			to not only promote, to convince a child
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			that this indecency is a good thing, and
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			then enjoys that indecency.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			So the lenient answer that I got was
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			this person is supposed to be flogged minimum
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:51
			200 times publicly, and then he is supposed
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			to be thrown in prison for life.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			That's the easier.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			The Sheikh is like, this is the maximum.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			I don't think this would lead this thing
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			because he did not do the act.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			He was not involved.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			If he was involved in the act, it
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			would be a qadim.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			The rest of the scholars, all of them,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			they said this person is supposed to be
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			killed.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			If he was in Muslim lands, he would
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			be killed.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			And the most severest one was Allah's Prophet
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:30
			ﷺ, Allah ﷻ says, they are supposed to
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			be killed.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			And then what's after that?
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			And they're supposed to be hung on a
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			cross.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			And their hands, like one right hand, one
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			left hand.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			Right hand, left hand are chopped.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			And they are hung for the community to
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			see as an ibrah that never be like
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			this in the markets.
