The ruling on one who accuses another of zina, and whether qisas is permissible in that case?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a man insults another with zina, or accuses his family of zina.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, meaning his family.
The questioner : Is it included in the specific category, or does it not apply to you?
The Shaykh : There is no qisas; it does not apply to him. He is given a discretionary punishment. If he accuses him of zina and he is chaste, the hadd of eighty lashes is carried out against him. If he is not chaste, he is given a discretionary punishment.
The questioner : And we are sweeter and more upright and more eloquent.
The Shaykh : The same doubt. Accusing someone of zina is qadhf, which has a specific hadd in the Shari'ah.
