of hiraba (highway robbery,terrorism or promoting terror). Hiraba does not require four witnesses to prove the offence; circumstantial evidence,medical data&expert testimony form the evidence used to prosecute such crimes.During the time of the Prophet(pbuh),punishment was inflicted on the rapist on the solitary evidence of the woman who was raped by the perpetrator.Wa’il ibn Hujr reports of an incident when a woman was raped.Later,when some people came by,she identified &accused the man of raping her.They seized him&brought him to Allah’s messenger, who said to the woman,“Go away,for Allâh has forgiven you,”but of the man who had raped her,he said, “stone him to death.”(Tirmidhi&Abu Dawud)
