The Wisdom of Stoning the Married Adulterer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a wisdom behind the stoning of the married adulterer, such that his punishment becomes more severe than that of the murderer and the apostate?

Answer:
Allah knows best. Allah commanded us to stone the married adulterer. As for us knowing what the wisdom is, that is not necessary. Allah did not explain this to us, except that it is for the protection of private parts, the protection of private parts, and a deterrent for the disobedient and open sinners from violating honor. This indicates the sanctity of honor and the severity of the sanctity of honor, and it indicates the ugliness of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), . This indicates the ugliness of zina. The Muslim whom Allah has blessed with marriage, who has tasted lawful pleasure, and then goes to commit zina, his punishment is more severe than that of the virgin who has not married. Therefore, the virgin is only flogged, whereas the married person is stoned because he has tasted lawful pleasure. So his committing zina after tasting lawful pleasure makes his crime more severe than that of the virgin. Therefore, his punishment is stoning. Some scholars say that the wisdom, and Allah knows best, in stoning the adulterer is so that the punishment is distributed over his entire body, just as the desire was distributed over his body. The desire for the unlawful was distributed over his body, and he took pleasure in it with his entire body.
