How is the married adulterer flogged?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the punishment for the married adulterer combine flogging and stoning, or is stoning alone sufficient?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this, because the authentic report states flogging of one hundred lashes and stoning. This is the view of Imam Ahmad that one combines flogging and stoning: he is flogged first, then stoned. 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) did this. Yes.
