asalamualaykum,
The judge has made his decision and we should respect his decision.
Assalamualaikum,
I appreciate that the type of punishment ordered for her is in accordance with shariah.
BUT is the verdict Islamic ?
It was not the teacher's decision to name the teddy 'Muhammed', the innocent children asked for it and voted for it.
The teddy is called 'Muhammed', not 'Prophet Muhammed'. Remember, the name 'Muhammed' was there before the last prophet, at his time and even now. It can be just any Muhammed. Why should the Sudanese
judge decide that the poor lady meant Prophet Muhammed?
She is not a muslim and may be unaware of the sentiments of muslims.
I personally believe that there is nothing wrong in calling a teddy 'Muhammed'. You are not calling a resentful object as 'Muhammed'. It is a teddy bear. I have not heard of any ruling that prevents it. Correct me if I am wrong.
Remember, they are doing this for the sake of the Prophet (pbuh) who showed us by example to forgive our adversaries. Now, how ironic is that?
Salams
