http://elbadil.com/arabic-press/2012/11/12/70344The preacher Faihan Ghamdi killed his child because of his doubt/suspicion over her behaviour - and a jurisprudential principle could save him from punishment!
Dr. Suhaila Zain al-Abidin, a member of the Human Rights Association in Saudi Arabia, announced that Faihan Ghamdi The preacher killed his daughter because he doubted/suspected her behaviour. She wondered how can a person suspect the behaviour of a child of five years, noting that the child's virginity had been established. Indeed she will not be silent over this heinous crime. And she expressed her fear that the murderer will escape punishment on the grounds that he is suffering from a psychological condition or that the applicable Fiqh principle be applied to him, which is related in "Al-Mughni" by Ibn Qudamah:
لا يقتل إن قتل ولده, ولكن تقتل الأم بقتلها ولدها"He (the father) is not to be killed if he kills his child, but the mother is to be killed if she kills her child."
Dr. Suhaila demanded, via the Saudi newspaper "Sabq", that the supreme court of justice and shari'ah agencies to reconsider their teaching methods after rectifying the understandings of Quranic verses regarding women and the laws and family & marriage relations, and not to rely on the jurisprudence of Fuqaha who rely on weak hadiths and irregular and Mursal (broken chain hadiths).
