Iran often gains particular coverage for it's regular use of stoning as a mode of execution.
What is the scholarly view on this?. I had been told that the prophet, p.b.u.h. opposed such?.
I'd appreciate information.
Thanks

Iran is not a Muslim country, it's a Shi3a country so please don't use Iran as an example. None of us here are Shi3a nor do we promote Iran or the Shi3a religion.
From what I know, in Islam, stoning is done to punish the adulters and those that commit zina.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is essential to stone the married adulterer until he dies, following the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as it is proven that he said that, did it and enjoined it. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stoned Maa’iz, the Juhani woman, the Ghaamidi woman, and the two Jews. All of that is proven in saheeh ahaadeeth narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The scholars among the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them), the Taabi’een and those who came after them are also unanimously agreed on that. No one differed from them apart from those to whose views no attention is to be paid. Al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated in their Saheehs from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “Allaah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with the truth and revealed to him the Book, and one of the things that Allaah revealed was the verse of stoning. We have read it and understood it. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stoned (adulterers) and we stoned (them) after him, but I fear that there may come a time when some people say: ‘By Allaah, we do not find the verse of stoning in the Book of Allaah.’ So they will go astray by forsaking an obligation that Allaah has revealed. According to the Book of Allaah, stoning is deserved by the one who commits zina, if he is married, men and women alike, if proof is established or the woman becomes pregnant or they confess…”

Just a correction dear sister, adultery is cause for stoning yes but zina in the sense of unmarried people results in 100 lashes for punishment.
As-salaamu `alaykum.
Yes, we have adultery and fornication, but both fall under the term zina hence the distinguish needs to be made, so jazaakum Allaah khayran for actually clarifying that (otherwise their would've been much confusion). if you contemplate on the conditions for stoning, then one will realise how rare stoning would occur. However the Iranians do not adhere to these conditions since they reject the sunnah, hence you find unjustified stoning rife.
In regards to to brother Salem's comment, then though on the surface its a bit harsh, well in fact the Iranian leaders (like their ayaat ush-shayaateen) are in no way associated with Islaam and tawheed (not necessarily all of them), and their kufr is that of the mushrikeen (their shirk is manifest and clear). Thus, due to their condition, the country cannot be called Islamic (since having Muslims rulers is a condition for an abode of Islaam). Though this does not obligate that the people of the country are of the same condition, since you find there Shi`a who are outside of Islaam, those who are within, outright kuffaar and athiests as well as people from the sunnah. Anyway, I don't see the need to discuss this, but I thought I'd clear that up.

But we're following some persons book which many people believe the hadiths are not one hundred percent solid true . And if we want to replace it with other practices is not disbelief . Bec we re not doing disobeying god .
I sincerely believe that any hadiths about the prophet promoting violence , we must immediately turn to the quran .
