Don: Hudud not found in scripture


Talking point: Prof Abdullahi speaking to the press on Islamic law.

PETALING JAYA: There is no obligation for Muslims to support hudud as it is not mentioned in the Quran, opines a law professor.

Professor Abdullahi A. An-Na’im from Emory University in the United States said the term hudud is a “misnomer” and the Quran did not mention it in relation to any crime.
