The mother of winefrom: 1400 bayt of Abu Abd Allah Rudaki
must be sacrificed. Her
children must be seized
& thrown into prison.
It will be impossible
to take her children from her
unless you first trample
her beneath your feet
& squeeze her essence
out. Nor may you
under law separate
the baby from her breast
until she has nursed it
for at least seven months,
beginning April, through
to the end of October…..
