And approaching a woman by a woman, and accusing someone of something other than zina, and the like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said "And approaching a woman by a woman" How does a woman approach a woman? Yes, that is what is called *sahq*, meaning a woman, may Allah protect us, rubs herself against another woman and discharges. This is called *sahq*. Sometimes she uses something she imagines to be a device and takes pleasure in the other woman. This does not incur the *hadd* punishment because it is not *zina*, but it does incur *ta'zir*. Who is subject to *ta'zir*?
The questioner : The two women.
The Shaykh : Both women are subject to *ta'zir*. Both women are subject to *ta'zir*. "And accusing someone of something other than zina" means to insult and abuse someone with something other than *zina*. For example, what? For example, saying "you donkey," "you dog," "you miser," "you bad-tempered person," and the like. But note that this last category does not involve the right of a human being; one is not held accountable for it unless it reaches the judge. We have previously discussed in the chapter on *qadhf* (false accusation) whether it is a right belonging to Allah or a right belonging to the accused, and we explained that there is scholarly disagreement on this. Therefore, accusing someone of something other than *zina* entails *ta'zir* and does not entail the *hadd* punishment. If the victim waives his right, it is dropped. However, if it reaches the Imam or the judge, the public right remains with us, because allowing people to be in a state of chaos, where anyone who wishes can insult, abuse, and accuse, and leaving them to do so, is not befitting. Yes.
