Explanation of the author's statement: "And [the punishment for] falsely accusing chaste, unaware, believing women."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : His statement in the hadith:
slandering chaste women who are believers, but unwary قذف المحصنات الغافلات المؤمنات
Sahih Muslim 89
Is it the same as falsely accusing chaste, unaware, believing men?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Hm?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Does this mean that falsely accusing men is like falsely accusing women?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, how much less? Is it one of the major sins or not? Hmm?
The student: One of the major...

The Shaykh : One of the major sins. Yes, this is the view of the majority of scholars... because the predominant reality is that false accusation is associated with women, as there were many prostitutes before Islam. False accusation is associated... And we have learned from the principles of jurisprudence that a predominant qualifier has no implication. It has no implication because it is for clarifying the reality, and what is for clarifying the reality has no implication.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, and men, men.
The student: Less.

The Shaykh : It is not apparent, and therefore their ruling on unlawful sexual intercourse is the same for the man and the woman.
The student: Among the people, it is not the same; some know that he is an adulterer but they are lenient in...

The Shaykh : In any case, the correct view is that there is no difference, because the intent is the violation of the honor of a Muslim
Your blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred to one another إن دماءكم وأموالكم وأعراضكم عليكم حرام
Sahih al-Bukhari 1739
. It is not far-fetched that the position of the Zahiri school is to restrict itself to the apparent wording. Yes.
The student: ... still has a punishment remaining from Allah, Glorified and Exalted.

The Shaykh : How?
The student: I mean, if one person killed another and was killed by a fixed punishment... does he have another sin remaining in the Hereafter with Allah, Glorified and Exalted, for killing a believer?

The Shaykh : ... the question? Even if it is not part of the lesson.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : The killer, the killer, encroached upon the right of Allah, the right of the victim, and the right of the victim's guardians. ... If he repents, the right of Allah is dropped from him by repentance. And if he surrenders himself to the guardians of the victim, the right of the guardians of the victim is dropped from him, hmm? And now a third right remains, which is the right of the victim, the right of the victim. So some scholars said: "It is not dropped from him by repentance because it is a right of a human being that must be fulfilled". And others said: "It is dropped by repentance, and if the repentance is sincere, then Allah, Glorified and Exalted, bears it for this killer and satisfies the victim". And this is part of the completion of Allah's acceptance of the killer's repentance. Part of the completion of Allah's acceptance of the killer's repentance.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: And if he killed.

The Shaykh : He killed, surrendered himself, and then killed again and fled, so he did not repent, okay.
The student: If he falsely accuses a believer... does he have to undergo the fixed punishment?

The Shaykh : Yes, by consensus, by the scholarly consensus.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : It is practiced, but unfortunately, it always happens in reality; it slips off the tongue. It slips off the tongue. It is known that they must...
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Regarding Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him), in the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
And the female adulterer and the male adulterer والزانية والزاني


The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: He said Allah placed the female adulterer before the male adulterer.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Because the woman's unlawful sexual intercourse...

The Shaykh : No, because it is more... because it is more, and in reality it is more severe from the aspect that she brings into her husband someone who is not of his offspring. The predominant reality is that it is more, meaning prostitutes are more than male adulterers. And also, it is more severe from the aspect that she brings into her husband children who are not from him. Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Did he not repent to Allah? The right of Allah remains upon him, meaning the warning mentioned by Allah befalls him
his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment. فجزاؤه جهنم خالدا فيها وغضب الله عليه ولعنه وأعد له عذابا عظيما
[An-Nisa 4:93]
. Yes. Okay, he says: The point of this hadith is his statement:
Sorcery السحر
This is the point.
