About: A topic not many would willingly discuss openly or honestly. A fascinating look at the issue of stoning for adultery and whether it is, in fact, an Islamic punishment that is validated by either the Quran or Hadith. Lucid, honest and necessary. As a wonderful aside he shows that dogs are not the big deal that many Muslims make them out to be. A great lecture, if one is looking for a deeper understanding of the whole concept of punishment and stoning as a punishment for adultery.

About: A question many ask, especially since the "Salafi" movement, "why do we follow a madhab?" and "Is Taqleed a part of Islam?". The topic of Taqleed (following a madhab) is a topic that causes many confusions in today's day and age. This Lecture covers the arguments for and against following a madhab in Islam and how schools of thought came about. The second lecture within this topic is given many years later but deals with the same topic "Should one follow the four schools or Quran and Sunnah?" or are they one and the same thing.
