Peaceful Islam: Sharipa Fazli: So many stab wounds that from her waist up, “there was no body.”

 Yasin Wafa, 17 months, is the son of the dead woman and her husband, who is charged in her fatal stabbing. Every night, little Yasin Wafa scurries over to his grandparents’ front door, hoping his mom will be picking him up as she used to.

Honor violence, honor murder is not just an Islamic tradition, it’s Islamic law.

A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.
