  2. = of all believers
  3. No original sin

Her definitions its be taken over the others because moral and ethical choice is standard with the Quran and it is better to take the choice that will resolve the issue!

Q

Why does Barals’ interpretation of Q4.34 not satisfy Laury Silvers?

The mere existence of the verse causes an ethical issue because it could be interpreted as permission to beat wife, suggest male superiority and the word drab still exists and allows for misinterpretations which give husband permission/right
