Hudood Ordinances By Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani PDF Free Download
Hudood Ordinances English Authored by Justice Mufti MuhammadTaqi Usmani. Islamization of Laws in Pakistan: The Case of Hudud Ordinances translated into English by Khalid Rehman. Ever since the creation of Pakistan, the issue of Islamization has been a subject of debate both within and outside the country. Islamization of laws is an essential element of the overall concept of Islamization in the country, and this aspect generated significant discussion and deliberations in 1979 when the government introduced Hudud Laws (Ordinances).
An objective study of the views and responses to the Ordinances indicates the existence of three opinions. Some people think that since hudud is prescribed in the Qur’an and Sunnah, one cannot think of changing or amending them. Some are opposed to the very idea of Islamization, so they call for a total repeal of the Ordinances.
The third group consists of those who support the idea of Islamization but feel that the Ordinances might require review and amendments, even though the hudud are certainly divinely ordained. They believe that, indeed, the Qur’an and Sunnah prescribe hudud, but their translation into laws is a human effort that needs continuous review to adjust to the demands of changing times.
This analysis, focusing on the Hudud Ordinances, seeks to help create an understanding of the entire debate on the Islamization of laws in Pakistan. The task is demanding, delicate, and complex. Underscoring the importance of implementing Islamic laws and refuting opponents’ allegations, the article also identifies some of the areas in the Hudud Ordinances, especially the Hudde Zina Ordinance, that require reform.
The analysis is divided into three parts. The first part discusses briefly the importance of the injunctions of Islamic Shariah. The second part addresses the questions and doubts raised furiously and frequently about the Hudud Laws, and the last part focuses on those aspects that, to this scribe, need review, amendment, and reform.
