139: Zina, Temporary Marriage and Sexual Law in Islam

In the conversation, John Pinna, a Muslim, and Father John Anderson, an Orthodox Christian priest, discuss various aspects of Islamic law, particularly focusing on "Zina" (adultery or illicit sexual relations). They explore how threats of sexual violence, such as rape, violate Islamic principles, including the prohibition against violence unless in self-defense, and how such threats also fall under Zina. They also touch on cultural and religious dynamics in Muslim-majority countries, including how religious law is enforced differently in various regions. The dialogue highlights differences and intersections between faith practices, addressing the moral and legal responsibilities within Islam.

Special Guest: Father John Anderson.
