The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a matter concerning two things. It serves as a defense for them, but it benefits from three aspects: the tongue of the witness, which is successful in its answer and is the intended meaning of this verse; and another tongue, that of denial, which aligns with the intention of its owner. So if a person denies it with his tongue... the same tongue testifies against him. And the wisdom here, may Allah know best, in mentioning the tongue is that the accusation was committed through it, and therefore it was mentioned before the hands and feet.
