does Islam allow honor killings?

Date: February 07, 2003 | 5 Dhu-l-Hijjah 1423 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: fiqh, honorkilling, reallysays
Zack Ajmal has been posting recently about honor killings (1 and 2).

To make it clear, honor killings are FORBIDDEN by Islam. Honor killing is murder and must be punished accordingly. Honor killing was one of many abuses of women in pre-Islamic Arabia that Islamic teachings eradicated. It is terrible and sad how some Muslims act as though Islam had never come to them. Istighfirullah!

Here are some links about what Islam actually teaches: Whose Honor? Muslim Women and Crimes of Honor, Honor Killings: Condemnations Are Not Enough, and Muslim Women's League Position Paper on Honor Killings.

Thanks, Zack. I replied to your comment at Jonathan's blog. I think we're chasing each other around the blogosphere, lol.

LOL! I don't know how the whole discussion ended up in your comments section since the entries are on Zack's blog and mine. I was going to post my link in both your comments and Zack's but I was delayed in getting to Zack's and by the time I came back the discussion was underway at yours.

lol
