Question:
This is a woman asking about her son who committed zina, and the woman he committed zina with became pregnant from it. She is confused about her situation: should she refer their case to the judge to have the hadd punishment carried out on them?
Answer:
She is not required to do anything regarding them; she should leave their matter to Allah and cover them up. However, if they are still practicing this crime, she should refer their case to the judge. But if they are not practicing it, and it was only once or twice, she should cover them up and ask them to repent. Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
