HiLo -- As I understand it, they are supposed by the particular faction that impose Sharia to derive from Koranic [Quranic if preferred] Surahs. Others, as I understand, claim that other Surahs elsewhere contradict these particular injunctions. But not being of the Islamic faith myself, my knowledge is necessarily hearsay & so a bit vague & imprecise. Has Mudcat any Muslim members who could help elucidate what is required by the various factions of their Faith?
