I need to know a few things about Saudi Arabia's Sharia law. I don't know an awful lot about the penalties there, but I have my suspicions that things like beheadings are not halal. Did the 4 caliphates after Mohammad (PBOH) practice these laws? ie Did they ever behead anyone for murder or cut off limbs etc? I also know that Niqaab is definately not halal. The Al Saud family brought these things from their bedouin traditions, it seems..

Ive heard of people being killed to death by being stoned for committing adultery in plus beheading has also taken place at the times of Rasoolullah (pbuh), also niqaab in the means of covering the whole body (itself from the eyes of an outsider/men) was also taken place in the Holy Prophets days as his own daughter Hazharat Fatima bns also covered her entire body with complete cloth with only her eyes showing subhanallah! In Islamic law a women should cover her head and body not revealing it but there is no restriction for her to not show her face, she does't have to cover face aswell that's just personal choice to ones own wishes. I know they never cut off limbs etc it's a bit too much u might aswell just be headed.

I believe all this should stop in Saudi arabia as most of them commit way too many of sins and mostly make their own law up, most of their rules and regulations are just self made. I know for a fact that if one gets caught stealing in Saudi arabia they will for sure have their hands chopped off!!!!

Anyway all the above is just what ave heard it might not even be true!!!
