Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheistوَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ
[An-Nur 24:3]


Answer:
Meaning, he is not pleased with her committing zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) except with someone like her, a fornicator like her, or a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) who does not consider zina forbidden. Yes. What is meant is that the Muslim woman who commits zina is married to a mushrik, but the meaning is that he is not pleased with her committing zina except one of two: either a fornicator who does not care about zina and does not condemn it, or a mushrik. And the mushrikin do not consider zina forbidden; the polytheists do not consider zina forbidden, not the People of the Book, who consider it forbidden in their religion and apply the hadd (fixed punishment) for it, as in the case of the Jews during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They have the ruling on the fornicator in the Torah, but the polytheist mushrik does not consider zina forbidden.
