The ruling on digging a pit for the one stoned for zina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the author’s (may Allah have mercy on him) statement, “A pit is not dug for the one stoned for zina,” is the intended meaning of this statement that a pit is not dug for him during his stoning?
Answer:
A pit is not dug for him during his stoning, because it was narrated that a pit was dug for Ma‘iz, but this is not established. And because, if it is established against him by confession, it is so that he may be able to escape and retract, and so that he may retract and cover himself. Yes.
