What is the ruling on falsely accusing a disbeliever of zina?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does falsely accusing a disbeliever of zina necessitate a discretionary punishment according to one opinion, or is there a difference of opinion?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I have not returned to it. Is there a difference of opinion or not? However, it may be said that a dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) retains his right, but it is clear that a non-dhimmi has no right. However, it appears that a non-disbeliever is not equated with a disbeliever.
