The ruling on one who hints at but does not explicitly state zina

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person hints but does not explicitly state the matter, is the hadd (fixed punishment) to be carried out against him?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this. They call it kinayah (indirect expression). If a person uses a phrase that indicates the heart but is not explicit, some scholars said that the hadd is applied, while others said that as long as he did not explicitly mention the heart, the hadd is not applied, but he is excused.
