The guys is misquoting the Quran, perhaps he did not read Quran, in this kind of possible situation or otherwise of the other statements as well he is not any authority or a scholar and he is no way to represent the Islam or Islamic legislation.

And on your un expected comments I Quote
"Abu Saif: That's the main problem, when a Muslim scholar shows interest in updating Islam, the conservative say they are wrong persue them" Close Quote

Allah says in Quran
I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you and have chosen for your Islam as your religion. Surah/Chapter Al-Ma'idah/5, Ayat/verse No 3
(last part of the said ayat pasted to avoid shifting from the thread in discussion as it include other instructions related to slaughtering etc)

So something said in Quran and confirmed from Hadidth does NOT require any update/refresh..

So please, we have to be very careful of what we say.

Allah May forgive us all for our intentional or unintentional mistakes and guide us to the right path.

Allah Knows the best...
