Abstract


The Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd al-Jadd (d.520/1126) issued a fatwā regarding stoning as a punishment for zinā (unlawful sexual relations). This article examines this fatwā, focusing on three problems: 1) the scarcity of references to implementation of stoning as a punishment for zinā in the pre-modem period, 2) the generally contradictory attitude of pre-modem Muslim jurists, who stressed the validity of stoning as a punishment for zinā but also called for a strict observance of the law, a factor that made it almost impossible to implement, and 3) the importance of the legal opinions offered by pre-modern fuqahā' with regard to contemporary discussions on stoning.
