I was totally disappointed when my Islamic teacher told us that the girls who get raped should be killed because it was her fault and she brings shame to her family!
She sounded horrible.
It's never the girls fault...at least she doesn't want to get raped.
I really am wondering if the Quran says the same thing or not, because what she said was totally ridiculous.
It's a shame that women think think this way too.
*Best Wishes*

The Arabic word ightisaab refers to taking something wrongfully by force. It is now used exclusively to refer to transgression against the honour of women by force (rape).
This is an abhorrent crime that is forbidden in all religions and in the minds of all wise people and those who are possessed of sound human nature. All earthly systems and laws regard this action as abhorrent and impose the strictest penalties on it, except a few states which waive the punishment if the rapist marries his victim! This is indicative of a distorted mind let alone a lack of religious commitment on the part of those who challenge Allaah in making laws. We do not know of any love or compassion that could exist between the aggressor and his victim, especially since the pain of rape cannot be erased with the passage of time as it is said. Hence many victims of rape have attempted to commit suicide and many of them have succeeded, The failure of these marriages is proven and they are accompanied by nothing but humiliation and suffering for the woman.
Islam has a clear stance which states that this repugnant action is haraam and imposes a deterrent punishment on the one who commits it.
Islam closes the door to the criminal who wants to commit this crime. Western studies have shown that most rapists are already criminals who commit their crimes under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and they take advantage of the fact that their victims are walking alone in isolated places, or staying in the house alone. These studies also show that what the criminals watch on the media and the semi-naked styles of dress in which women go out, also lead to the commission of this reprehensible crime.
The laws of Islam came to protect women's honour and modesty. Islam forbids women to wear clothes that are not modest and to travel without a mahram; it forbids a woman to shake hands with a non-mahram man. Islam encourages young men and women to marry early, and many other rulings which close the door to rape. Hence it comes as no surprise when we hear or read that most of these crimes occur in permissive societies which are looked up to by some Muslims as examples of civilization and refinement! In America for example International Amnesty stated in a 2004 report entitled Stop Violence Against Women that every 90 seconds a woman was raped during that year. What kind of life are these people living? What refinement and civilization do they want the Muslim women to take part in?
------------ ---------------------- ------------------
The punishment for rape in Islam is same as the punishment for zina, which is stoning if the perpetrator is married, and one hundred lashes and banishment for one year if he is not married.
Some scholars also say that he is required to pay a mahr to the woman.
Imam Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
In our view the man who rapes a woman, whether she is a virgin or not, if she is a free woman he must pay a dowry like that of her peers, and if she is a slave he must pay whatever has been detracted from her value. The punishment is to be carried out on the rapist and there is no punishment for the woman who has been raped, whatever the case. End quote. Al-Muwatta , 2/734
---------------------- ------------------------- ---------------
Shaykh Salmaan al-Baaji (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
In the case of a woman who is forced (raped): if she is a free woman, the one who forced her must pay her a dowry like that of her peers, and the hadd punishment is to be carried out on him. This is the view of al-Shaafa i, and it is the view of al-Layth, and it was also narrated from Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him).
Abu Haneefah and al-Thawri said: the hadd punishment is to be carried out on him but he is not obliged to pay the dowry .
The evidence for what we say is that the hadd punishment and the dowry are two rights, one of which is the right of Allaah and the other is the right of the other person. So they may be combined, as in the case of a thief whose hand is cut off and he is required to return the stolen goods. End quote.
Al-Muntaha Sharh al-Muwatta , 5/268, 269
----------------- ----------------- ---------------
Ibn Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars are unanimously agreed that the rapist is to be subjected to the hadd punishment if there is clear evidence against him that he deserves the hadd punishment, or if he admits to that. Otherwise, he is to be punished (i.e., if there is no proof that the hadd punishment for zina may be carried out against him because he does not confess, and there are not four witnesses, then the judge may punish him and stipulate a punishment that will deter him and others like him). There is no punishment for the woman if it is true that he forced her and overpowered her, which may be proven by her screaming and shouting for help. End quote.
Al-Istidhkaar, 7/146
______________________________________...
The rapist is subject to the hadd punishment for zina, even if the rape was not carried out at knife-point or gun-point. If the use of a weapon was threatened, then he is a muhaarib, and is to be subjected to the hadd punishment described in the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
The recompense of those who wage war against Allaah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter [al-Maaidah 5:33]
So the judge has the choice of the four punishments mentioned in this verse, and may choose whichever he thinks is most suitable to attain the objective, which is to spread peace and security in society, and ward off evildoers and aggressors.

if she is raped in the countryside it is deemed acceptable for her not to be killed because no one would be able to her her scream
actually not sure if thats from the bible or koran
1- For the perpetrator, the punishment for rape is same as the punishment for adultery.
2- For the raped victim, she/he is a victim. Some school of thoughts state that the perpetrator should pay money to the victim as a reimbursement for the physical and mental abuse, and some school of thoughts was silent about it.
3- It's the culture (not Shariah Law) in some parts of the Islamic world that the family will kill their daughter and the guy who she committed adultery with if they found out about it. However, they will never do if the adultery was committed by their son (and here comes the double standards of the east).
4- However, even those societies with their double standards differentiate between rape and adultery. They chase the guy, and become an issue of honor with the guy's family, but they acknowledge that their daughter is a victim not criminal.
About the incident of "Qatif's girl" in Saudi Arabia, that incident was not about a rape crime only, it has political background as well. The crime was committed by Shia (oppressed civilians in Saudi Arabia) and the judge was accused of sects' discrimination.
What she said is totally false.
The reply of Muhyi al Din is correct. He has quoted the fatwa of Imam Malik (R.A.) in this regard
I don't recall any reference in Quran to rape though I have gone through entire Quran more than once. I think the reason of no mention of rape is that even doing sex with a woman other than spouse with the consent of both persons has stoning to death penalty in Islam if four witnesses report the case or one or both persons confess of doing consensual sex.
Repe is worst than consensual sex, there can not no more than death penalty. I know in Shariah Laws of Saudi Arabia there is death penalty by stoning to death in public for a rapist.
Real delema is how to prove that a female is raped unless there are four witnesses who saw the actual rape being comitted to meet the requirement of Quran unless the man or woman confesses that he or she comitted the crime. If and when foresnsic proof system is developed and introducted in Islamic world, or a video camera makes a video, this crime will remain unsolved in those countries.
There is no shame in someone being a vitim of Rape, the only shame is on the perpetrator.
The Quran does not say that and maybe at the time your "Teacher" should have being giving your proof or evidence of what he/she where saying if it where true.
I know that if a woman was raped in my family my husband, his brothers, father, cousins, neighbors would find him and put him very quickly to shame, he would be wishing he where dead if you get my drift....
Does that sound like people who would want there sister, niece, daughter killed for being a victim of a crime? No.....
Rape is one kind of oppression. God condemns oppression of any kind. God commands sexual intercourse only with one's spouse. We are commanded to maintain moral behaviour. God forbids adultery. God forbids prostitution and forgives the girls forced into committing prostitution. And all bad behavior is condemned. What more would anyone want? Imploring God for help is the best one can do for all problems.
Those who commit rape are violating God's laws and will therefore face the consequence therefore. They are not Submitters (Muslim in Arabic) A believer in God would know that God does not will anything bad to happen to us and when it does happen it is because of something wrong that we have done.
"When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet saws for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (raped) her. She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said: That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the Emigrants came by, she said: That man did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her. She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of Allah saws. When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, I am the man who did it to her. He (the Prophet) said to the woman: Leave now, for Allah has forgiven you. And about the man who had intercourse with her, he said: Stone him to death. Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4366
****I would like to point out to Br. Majeed and others that a woman who is raped DOES NOT have to produce four witnesses. The case of 4 witnesses is incumbant upon a person accused of adultery, not in the instance of rape. The evidence is the following. First of all, how is it possible for witnesses see a woman being raped and not come to her defense? It makes no sense. We read the following in the Quran regarding the issue of 4 witnesses: And those who accuse chaste women [of adultery] and then do not produce four witnesses lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient. Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed Allaah is Forgiving and Merciful" (24:2-5) So it is clear this is a stipulation in the case of adultery, not rape. Adultery is "zina" (which we read in the Quran) and rape is "ightisab", which are two different things. Also, if anyone were to refute her claim of rape, it would be up to that person (the refuter) to provide the evidence. The Prophet saws said: The onus to provide evidence falls on the one who makes a claim, and the one who denies (the same) can absolve himself or herself by making a solemn oath to the contrary" (Ibn Mâjah, al-Nawawî). Also there is a well known story about a woman during the caliphate of Omar (RAA) who was accused of adultery, but she swore that in fact it had been rape because she had been asleep and awoke to find a man assaulting her. She swore an oath to that affect and Omar RAA believed her and released her. Whatsmore according to both the hanfi & Shaf'i mathhabs, an unmarried woman who is found to be pregnant, she must be asked first if it was by force and if she claims that to be the case, she cannot be punished. All of this of course is done without the 4 witnesses, rather based solely on the testimony of the woman.
No such thing.
But your allowed to have captured women.
What's rape?
.........................................
I told you There's NOTHING in quran about rape (adultery is does)...it does not exist for muslim women. They are never Raped even when they are.
.
BUT Yes Many ppl say that Quran says the same...
i don't know whether it is right or wrong(I Mean my statement)
Sorry if Im wrong
have a nice day
Although, women here, will say they have been raped when in fact, they have not! Then a man goes to prison for a crime he did not commit and must register as a sex offender. Go figure!
