If a husband and wife undergo mutual oath-swearing in an accusation of adultery, is the fixed punishment carried out on the adulterer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a man and his wife engage in mutual oath-swearing, and the woman admits to the act after the oath-swearing, is the fixed punishment that was established against her carried out?

The Shaykh : The correct view is that it is carried out against her.

The presenter : Yes.

The Shaykh : This is what the adulterer faces, because the adulterer does not confess, nor is there ever a witness established against him, and he does not demand it.
