Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the word "khabith" or "khabithah" considered a false accusation of adultery (qadhf) for which the fixed punishment (hadd) is imposed on the one who says it to a chaste person?
Answer:
This is an allusion to the false accusation of adultery. The false accusation must be explicit; it is not an allusion. The false accusation must be explicit and not admit of any meaning other than the intention of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse). Yes.
