There was no Allah present, and Muhammad was making these Sharia Rulings on his own. Thus he made several human mistakes and gave contradictory rulings.
For example:
- Muhammad stressed a lot upon modesty and decency.
- For that purpose, Muhammad put a lot of restrictions upon Muslim women.
- Muslim women were asked not to leave 4 walls of their homes. They were put under the restriction of the Hijab (a big outer garment sheet to cover the whole body, even during hot days of summer). They were not allowed to shake hands, or to even talk with other men outside.
But on the other hand, Muhammad did this to the slave women:
- He prohibited them to take Hijab.
- And he even kept their breasts naked. Yes, there were thousands of slave women present in public, and in front of Muhammad who were without a Hijab, and with naked breasts.
- And Muhammad made these slave women stand in this semi-naked state in the Bazaars of Slavery, where male Muslim customers were also allowed to touch their private parts.
- And Umar Ibn Khattab used to beat slave women, who by mistake took Hijab. He told them not to resemble free Muslim women by taking Hijab.
Link: Islam prohibited Slave-Women from taking Hijab or even covering their naked breasts in public
These ridiculous contradictions in Sharia rulings happened while Muhammad was only a human, and he was not free from making human mistakes.
Muhammad instructed his companion to keep on enjoying his beautiful wife, even if she commits adultery with other companions
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ), and said: My wife does not prevent the hand of a man who touches her (i.e. who fornicates with her). He said: Divorce her. He then said: I am afraid my inner self may covet her. He said: Then (keep) enjoying her (as your wife).
Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani)
Except for Ibn 'Abbas, this same hadith has also been narrated by Hisham (the slave of Muhammad) and companion Jabir bin Abdullah (جابر بن عبدالله).
Ibn Kathir recorded it from Hisham and Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (link):
ومنهم هشام مولى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال محمد بن سعد: أنبأنا سليمان بن عبيد الله الرقي، أنبأنا محمد بن أيوب الرقي، عن سفيان، عن عبد الكريم، عن أبي الزبير عن هشام مولى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. قال: جاء رجل فقال يا رسول الله إن امرأتي لا تدفع يد لامس، قال " طلقها " قال: إنها تعجبني، قال " فتمتع بها " قال ابن منده وقد رواه جماعة عن سفيان الثوري، عن أبي الزبير، عن مولى بني هاشم عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولم يسمه. ورواه عبيد الله بن عمرو عن عبد الكريم عن أبي الزبير عن جابر.
And Hisham was the 30th slave of Muhammad. Muhammad bin Sa'd narrated from Sulaiman, wo from Muhammad bin Ayyub, who from Sufyan, who from Ibn Zubayr, who from Hisham, the slave of the Prophet Muhammad, who said that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad and said: "O Messenger of Allah! My wife does not prevent a hand of any man who touches her. He (the Prophet) said: Divorce her. He then said: I am afraid my inner self may covet her. He (the Prophet) said: Then enjoy her.
And Ibn Manda said that many people narrated it from Sufyan Thawri, who from Ibn Zubayr, who from the slave of the Prophet, but the name of that slave was not mentioned. Moreover, this same tradition has also been narrated by 'Ubaydullah bin Amr, from 'Abd al-Karim, who from Ibn Zubayr, who from Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari.
Note: In this hadith, the word " يَدَ لاَمِسٍ” is used, whose literal meaning is "to touch". But according to the Arabic language, it means "to do sex". This same word "to touch" has been used with the same meaning of "doing sex" in the Quran itself.
Quran 2:237:
وَإِن طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ
And if ye divorce them before touching them (i.e. doing sex), but after the fixation of a dower for them, then the half of the dower (Is due to them)
All Muslim Scholars are unanimous that “touching” here means the consummation of marriage by doing sex.
For example, Ibn Kathir writes in the commentary under this verse 2:237, that it means "penetration دخول" (link):
هذه الآية الكريمة مما يدل على اختصاص المتعة بما دلت عليه الآية الأولى، حيث إنما أوجب في هذه الآية نصف المهر المفروض إذا طلق الزوج قبل الدخول
This Ayah (2:237) requires the husband to relinquish half of the appointed Mahr if he divorces his wife before the penetration (الدخول) i.e. before the marriage is consummated.
Are you able to see the contradiction in Islam, where on one hand there is a Draconian punishment of 'stoning till death' by Islamic Sharia if a married woman engages in sex? But on the other hand, if she is beautiful, then this same Islamic Sharia is teaching to keep enjoying her only for your LUST.
Please also see the verse An-Nisa 4:43
Quran 4:43:
"يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَقْرَبُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّىَ تَعْلَمُواْ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلاَ جُنُبًا إِلاَّ عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىَ تَغْتَسِلُواْ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّنَ الْغَائِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ مَاء فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا"
"O you who believe! Approach not As-Salat (the prayer) when you are in a drunken state until you know (the meaning) of what you utter, nor when you are in a state of Janaba, (i.e. in a state of sexual impurity and have not yet taken a bath) except when traveling on the road (without enough water, or just passing through a mosque), till you wash your whole body. And if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (by sexual relations) and you find no water, perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands (Tayammum). Truly, Allah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving."
Simply touching a woman does not need to take a bath. But it is sex which brings you in the state of Janaba (i.e. in a state of sexual impurity) for which a bath is needed.
The contradiction between the Quran and Muhammad
1st Contradiction:
- On one side Muhammad talked about modesty, decency, being chaste, Hijab, not even talking to the opposite gender, and awarding the CRUELLEST punishment of stoning for adultery.
- But on the other hand, Muhammad is instructing his companion to keep on taking pleasure from his beautiful wife, even if she does adultery with other men (companions?)
2nd Contradiction:
During the incident of IFK, the 3 companions witnessed 'Aisha's character. But Muhammad wanted that 'Aisha became free of that accusation, while it was indirectly hurting his claim of prophethood. Thus, he claimed the revelation of the following verses, which should have served as proof of the innocence of 'Aisha.
Quran 24:3:
ٱلزَّانِى لَا يَنكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَٱلزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنكِحُهَآ إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ
The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist
Quran 24:26:
ٱلْخَبِيثَٰتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَٱلْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَٰتِ ۖ وَٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَٱلطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَٰتِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ
Impure women are for impure men and impure men for impure women, and pure women are for pure men and pure men for pure women. They are free from those scandals which the slanderers utter.
But while instructing his companions to keep taking sexual pleasure from his beautiful wife, Muhammad forgot that he had already declared during the incident of IFK that pure men are only for pure women.
This happened only, while there was no Allah present in the heavens, and Muhammad committed this mistake while he was forgetful as a human.
Now you can easily decide if such a religion can be from any divine being in the heavens, which has such huge contradictions.
"The Messenger of Allah said: "There are three at whom Allah will not look on the Day of Resurrection: The one who disobeys his parents, the woman who imitates men in her outward appearance, and the cuckold (i.e. a man whose wife is sexually unfaithful).
It is another proof of Muhammad's contradiction. He said one thing on one point and said a contradictory thing on another point. He was a human and thus he made such human mistakes.
The issue of Parentage of the child
The next issue is about the parentage of the child, which becomes absolutely impossible in this case if she is getting a child from her husband or from other men who are touching (having sex with) her.
Actually, Muhammad forgot in this case that he had ordered the cruellest punishments for non-married couples, in the name of protecting the parentage of the child.
When Muslims are asked why Islam gives such Draconian punishments like 'stoning to death', then Muslims brag proudly that Islam wants to protect the parentage of the child, so that he/she does not stay with non-Mahram brothers/sisters under the same roof in one house.
But do these Muslims realize that a child of such a beautiful woman from another man is non-Mahram to other wives and all daughters of that husband, but still that husband had to give him his name and keep him along with his other wives and all daughters in the same house?
Why Muslims are not able to see these logical contradictions in their religion?
Conclusion:
These contradictions are occurring only due to this reason while no so-called Allah is present in the heavens, it was Muhammad himself who was making the revelations on his own.
1st excuse from Islam apologists: This hadith is only about a barren women
An Islam apologist wrote:
Imam Abu Dawud recorded this hadith under the chapter of: "Prohibition Of Marrying Women Who Do Not Give Birth". This means that there will occur no problem of parentage while keep on enjoying her as a wife.
Answer:
There is absolutely no indication present in this hadith itself that it is only about those beautiful women who are barren. Not only in the version of Ibn Abbas but in all other versions of this hadith have absolutely no indication of barren women. Therefore, it means nothing if Abu Dawud recorded it in such a chapter about barren women. No angel came to Abu Dawud to tell him directly that this hadith was only about barren women.
Moreover, if you think logically, then again you will see that many pairs don't get children despite trying for many years. But then after several years, the wife indeed gets pregnant. There was no way possible in that era to say it with surety that any woman was barren.
Moreover, even in the case of a barren wife, you don't allow her to start doing sex with other men, and you still keep on calling her a 'pure woman' who is suitable for a 'pure religious husband' like you.
2nd Excuse: The Prophet didn't 'stone her to death while no 4 witnesses were present
Answer:
Please be aware of these tactics of Islam apologists. They first make it an issue of 'stoning her to death', and then start defending Muhammad by making excuses that he could not do it while no 4 witnesses were present.
No, it is not a matter of stoning her to death, but it is simply a matter of 'divorcing' her and separating from her. And for that, the husband did not need any 4 witnesses.
The husband could have simply divorced her, as the Prophet himself suggested to him in this same hadith.
But when the man showed his interest in her beauty, then the Prophet allowed him to keep on fulfilling his LUST with such a wife who commits fornication with other men.
PS:
Issue:It is permissible to wed a woman, who fornicates. Even if man has himself seen her doing fornication, still he can marry her ... and what Allah said in the Quran {The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist (Quran 24:3)}, then the answer to this objection is this, that this verse has been abrogated from this verse { فَانْكِحُوْا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ then marry the women that seem good to you (Quran 4:3)}. And the proof of this abrogation is this tradition, where a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ), and said: My wife does not prevent the hand of a man who touches her (i.e. who does sex with her). He (the Prophet) said: Divorce her. He then said: I am afraid my inner self may covet her. He (the Prophet) said: Then enjoy her.
