Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person accuses another of having a relationship with a woman other than his wife, but does not explicitly state that he committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with her, is the hadd of qadhf applied to him?
Answer:
This is for the judge to decide. If the woman's husband files a lawsuit against him before the judge, the judge will determine the appropriate ruling for him.
