Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was the punishment for zina in the beginning, regarding the verse in Surat al-Nisa, the same for the married and the unmarried?

Answer:
Yes, the punishment for zina in the early period of Islam was that the woman was confined in the house until she died, and the man was to be harmed. As for the two who commit it among you, harm them both; the man is to be harmed and the woman is to be confined.
