(Raddul-Muhtaar) NOTE . In an area where Hadd cannot be implaced for Zina, or accusing a person of it, drinking alcohol, or stealing, social boycott is to be adopted. Meaning the person should be made to understand first that his or her conduct is not correct and if tauba is made and the act stopped then no further action should be taken. However if this is not the case, then Muslims should socially boycott the person by not having any contact with h im or her. Besides social boycott, no other punishment can be implaced. Sayyiduna Ali � states, "If a drop of alcohol falls into a well and a Minaarat is then built on that place, I shall not giveAzaan from it. Ifone drop ofit falls in a river and it becomes drywith grass beginning to grow there, I shall not take my animals to graze there." Subhanal lah ! This level of hate for a sin can only be possessed by the pious and beloved servants ofAllah �. May He also grant us the same level oflmaan and steadfastness, Aameen ! 252
