Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If he was ruled there to pay a sum of money to a woman with whom he committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with her consent, does he pay that amount?

Answer:
Who is it that rules this ruling? It is a ruling of a taghut (tyrant). No one rules by this ruling in the lands of Islam. The one who commits zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) pays the woman he committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with money. This is encouraging her to do it. So this is a ruling of a taghut (tyrant).
