is there any evidence for this? people say that it is not allowed to partially implement the laws for the reason of "gradually easing in shariah" when islam expanded during the time of Abu Bakr and Umar bin Khattab are there any examples of the ameers of any wilayah implementing the laws gradually? i think this will give us the best answer. ---------------- personally as a man, if you want to say that you will enforce the laws of fornication and adultery in the first five years and then the laws of hijab and tabarruj after 5 years, it makes no sense what so ever. btw, the ruling of covering awra applies equally to muslims and non-muslims in public. i have read things where people say that it only applies to muslims - so strange.
