I have just watched "The Stoning Of Soraya M".
In that movie she is stoned without hiding her hair. It is clearly a movie, so it might not show what happens in reality, so I sought out videos showing the real thing. I found numerous examples on-line (links removed by masfenix. See revision history of this question if the sources are important to you), but they are inconsistent in details; in some videos the punished's hair is covered, but in others it is not. Similarly, some videos have the punished be dug into the ground, and others do not. **Question:** I am confused here:
I understand that the stoning comes from the hadith and not the quran (https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/943/where-do-we-get-the-idea-of-beheading-stoning-and-hand-mutilation-in-islam/947#947) , but where does it say **how** the stoning should be done?
