How to reconcile Allah’s saying: (And those who commit lewdness…)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

[How to reconcile Allah’s saying: (And those who commit lewdness.)
) and the saying of the Messenger: (The unmarried woman with the unmarried man: one hundred lashes and one year of exile)

How do we reconcile the fact that the hadd for the unmarried fornicator is one hundred lashes and one year of exile with the saying of Allah the Exalted:

Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.

وَاللَّاتِي يَأْتِينَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةً مِنْكُمْ فَإِنْ شَهِدُوا فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ حَتَّى يَتَوَفَّاهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ أَوْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلاً

[Al-Nisa: 15] ?

We reconcile them by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): (Take from me, take from me, for Allah has made a way out for them) So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) clarified that Allah made a way out for them in His saying:

The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes

الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ

[Al-Nur: 2] Thus, this verse abrogates the verse in Al-Nisa,And if you wish, say: or clarifies it; because the verse in Al-Nisa does not definitively state that this is the punishment;Because Allah said:

or Allah ordains for them [another] way.

أَوْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلاً

[Al-Nisa: 15] So Allah made a way out for them.
