Hadd offences include theft, which is punishable by the amputation of the offender’s hand and adultery, which can result in being stoned to death.<\/p>\n

Other offences against Sharia law include denying Mohammed, gambling, drinking alcohol and women talking to a man, who is not her husband or relative.
