Analysis from scholars This hudud and crime fighting issue had become the most concerned things

from many scholars around the world. It is not only limited to the Muslims scholars but also concerned by nonMuslims scholars. The references and evidences stated by the scholars are written below: Muslims Scholars: 1) Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, President of the International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS) Hudud are the apparent part of Shari`ah to people, though hudud alone are not enough for a thorough application of Shari`ah itself. He calls for applying Shari`ah while bearing into consideration the changes in time, place, and people themselves, as there are old jurisprudential rulings that are not valid in this modern world. Shari`ah is valid for all times and places; however, the application of Shari`ah needs ijtihad on the part of qualified scholars who consider the changes in today's world while having deep knowledge of the tenets of Shari`ah. Another point is that when someone commits a crime related to hudud, the authorities should not start with applying the penalty, but any other way out should be sought. A rule, which Muslims agree upon, says, "Let doubt suspend hudud." Many jurists widen the range of doubt based on the following hadith related by Al-Hakim and As-Suyuti: "Refrain from enforcing hudud on Muslims as much as you can. If you find a way out for a Muslim, let him (or her) go, as it is better for the imam (ruler) to wrongly forgive than to wrongly punish." He also questioned on how can hudud be applied when people are unemployed, hungry, sick, orphaned, and homeless? Islam should be established in such aspects first, and then if someone steals, such an act of theft is because of the evil inside him or her. He concluded that hudud may be suspended until there is an Islamic life comprehensively established, with all conditions guaranteed. If these conditions are met in a certain case, hudud must be applied. 2) Sheikh Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt First, he asserts that the time may now be considered as the time that the absence of an acceptable witness to convict the hudud law (as described) and second, he described this period as a time of syubhah (of doubt). While the principle that is applied in the hudud law is hudud is neglected due to the existence of syubhah, extracted from the hadith of the Prophet PBUH.
