The Ruling on a Woman Who Refuses Li'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a woman refuses to undergo li'an, is the punishment carried out against her up to the point of execution, or up to the point of zina?
Answer:
It appears, and Allah knows best, that nothing is carried out against her. Nothing is carried out against her based merely on reports. The hudud punishment is not carried out against her except by her confessing four times or by the testimony of four men. As for if she denies it, nothing is carried out against her.
