Are State Laws Not Based On Morality?
Assalamualaikum
1.00 to 2.05
Ghamidi sahab said that laws are made so that one don’t harm the rights of others. But there are some crimes which(to the extent of my knowledge) are morally or religiously wrong but may not harm the rights of one.e.g prostitution, morally and religiously it’s wrong, but is not harming one’s right.
And dallas lectures present in written form?
