NA bars Hindu lawmaker from presenting bill seeking ban on alcohol

. .
.
The ban is pointless as it would never stop the sale of Alcohol and instead make it worse by pushing people to moonshine and associated deaths.

This lawmaker is a complete Drama. Jumped ship from PmL(N) to PTi.
This issue is not pmln specific ... alot of parlimentarians are alcoholic ...
I know.. PPP is not much different and some even in PTI may be drinking but I said PMLn so because they try pretend to be more Muslim than others.

I, for one, believe that classic Fiqh is outdated anyway and we need to re-interpret Islam in accordance with the changed realities of our times, but I am sure that the majority of Muslims would disagree.

Reality does not change with time. Human intellect may interpret it differently.

Can you please provide me an example to support or further your belief that Islam is outdated now for the modern world?

No one said that Islam was outdated ....
Classic Fiqh; the medieval interpretation and implementation of Islam in accordance with the prevalent realities of those times, is what is outdated
The Message of God i.e the Holy Qur'an is not time-bound, it is universal and eternal

Please give me an example. A practical one if you may

A relevant example:

In Classic Fiqh, Non-Muslims are inferior to Muslims, Women are inferior to men, Slavery is condoned; Freemen are superior to slaves, etc.

What evidence does these so called classical fiqh present for this?

They based it on their own understanding and interpretation of primary Islamic texts, a consensus of scholars of that era, and deductive analogy

Just like you would do now and it will become classical of this time?

I am interested in the counter rather than sweeping statements.

No, it won't ... The doors of Ijtihad have been closed now, and even a consensus of modern day scholars cannot undo a consensus of the ulema of the past, and you have to follow whatever the ulema of the past have concluded.

Classic Fiqh cannot evolve. It's either take it as it is, or leave it

Bring forward your arguments if you want a serious discussion ...
Your stupid one-liners are pointless

I do not discuss religion in detail since it is against the forum rules.

My argument is quite simple. The facts of life are still the same as they were when The Book descended. As you said it is beyond the concept of Time or place or intellect.

For example: Slavery is still rampant in the world as it was 14000 years ago. Quran gives a practical solution on how to counter it on a social level.

Women face discrimination when registering crime from Papua New Guinea to USA. A practical solution is provided by accepting the shortcomings which are natural instincts. For e.g. the color of Kim Kardashians bag is still highly contested among women and women face problems recalling events which were stressful to them.

It is your indoctrinated belief that Islamic fiqhs are outdated and must be rebranded to fit the modern world but the world remains pretty much the same from the day the verse '' Today we have completed your Deen '' descended.

Duh !

So, your basic argument is that the world is the same as it was 14000 years (sic) ago !!
and nothing has changed since the Qur'an was revealed 1400 years ago !!
therefore what was true and applicable thousand years ago (i.e Classic Fiqh) must be applicable today
And anyone who believes otherwise is "indoctrinated" !!

Seriously ???? ..

Instead of being blonde about it. Why not counter it?
