Ayatollah Gholamreza Rezvani is a member of the powerful Council of Guardians in the Islamic Republic of Iran. He believes in literal interpretation of Quran, hadith, and sunnah. For example, he harbors the opinion that there is "no substitute" for stoning adulterers[1][2] A fellow mullah, Ayatollah Hossein Moussavi Tabrizi, a member of Society of Theologians in Qom’s Seminary School, has presented alternatives in lieu of stoning to the thousands sharia judges around the country
- Stone to death
- Throw off a cliff with hands and feet bound;
- Execution;
- Throw into the fire
Ayatollah Hossein Moussavi Tabrizi has encapsulated his rationale thus
In today's circumstances where domestic news in Islamic countries are reflected widely in the international arena, enabling the enemies of Islam take advantage of them in a destructive manner, stoning in public is not advisable unless in exceptional cases.[3]
