((Indeed, those who accuse chaste, unsuspecting, believing women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment)).

The Shaykh : Allah the Exalted said: They accuse chaste women, meaning of fornication; unsuspecting women, meaning chaste women who are far from suspicion because they are unaware and do not expose themselves to places of temptation; believing women, which is clear. "They are cursed" is the predicate of "Indeed." Allah did not specify who cursed them, for the generality of the statement, because everyone who knows their condition curses them, hates them, and reviles them in this world and the Hereafter. And for them is a great punishment. This is in addition to the punishment of the hadd (fixed penalty) they receive. This will be reconciled with the previously mentioned hadith of 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, which indicates that if the hadd is carried out against a person, it serves as an expiation for him. We say: The hadith of 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit mentioned earlier is general. If hadiths come that appear to contradict it, they are interpreted as specifying it, just as we passed through regarding the highway robber . We say: The original ruling is what the hadith of 'Ubadah indicates, that the huddud (fixed penalties) are expiations. If texts come indicating that a person is punished in this world and tormented in the Hereafter, it becomes a specification of the generality of the hadith of 'Ubadah. Yes.
