| Fawahish applies to all those acts whose
abominable character is self-evident. In the
Qur'an all extra-marital sexual
relationships, sodomy, nudity, false accusation of unchastity,
and taking as one's wife a woman who had been married to one's
father, are specifically reckoned as shameful deeds. In
Hadith, theft, taking intoxicating
drinks and begging have been characterized as fawahish as have
many other brazenly evil and indecent acts. |
