Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person accuses another person who is not chaste of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), there is no hadd (fixed punishment) upon him. Who determines that the accused man is not chaste? It is known that he has a history, and what are the matters that deprive a person of chastity?
Answer:
For example, if he has a history, if there are prior records that he committed zina in the past, and the hadd was carried out against him, and so on. Yes.
