Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) stated, "A pit is not dug for one who is stoned." It is reported that a pit was dug for the woman from Bani Ghafir who repented. How is this reconciled?
Answer:
I told you that there is disagreement on this issue. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned without digging a pit, and it is reported that a pit was dug for him, which indicates that there is disagreement and difficulty among the scholars regarding this issue.
