The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman is asking, and she says: If the husband commits zina, is it obligatory for her to perform li’an against him, just as he performs li’an against her?

The questioner:
If her husband commits zina, is it obligatory for her to perform li’an against him?

Li’an does not take place except after accusing him of zina. If she accuses him of zina, then the hadd (fixed punishment) is not dropped from her except through li’an, if she does not have four witnesses. Yes.
