If a woman gives birth to a child without marriage, do we apply the hadd (fixed punishment) to her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If an unmarried woman, who is not muhsanah (a woman who has previously been married), gives birth to a child, does this necessitate the hadd without marriage?

Answer : We have previously discussed the disagreement on this matter, and the stronger position is that she is subject to the hadd, unless she claims a shubhah (doubtful matter). Hmm.
