The Ruling on Zina for a Divorced Woman and a Widow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. And regarding her, if she commits zina.
The Shaykh:
Mm.
The questioner:
Whether she is divorced or a widow, is she stoned or flogged?
The Shaykh:
If the husband had intercourse with her, and she was a bad woman—if she was divorced before intercourse, or if they merely gathered, she is not considered pure; the hadd of flogging is carried out against her, and she is safe. If the husband had intercourse with her and then divorced her or died, she is considered pure; if she commits zina, the hadd of stoning is carried out against her.
