Chapter Introduction
Translation: Allah said:
Translation: " The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each one of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. (This 31 Under this topic, Al Hodood, the plural of Hadd is the prescribed penalties for committing certain offenses such as murder, apostasy, adultery, accusing chaste men and women of adultery, drinking wine, theft. They were so named and prescribed because they are liable to prevent from committing such crimes. The other meaning of Al Hodood is the prohibitions or commandments that Allah and His Messenger have imposed. Allah says: " Divorce is only permissible twice: after that, the parties should either hold together on equitable terms, or separate with kindness. It is not lawful for you, (men), to take back any of your gifts (from your wives), except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah. If you (judges) do indeed fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah, there is no blame on either of them if she gives something for her freedom. These are the limits (Al Hodood) ordained by Allah. So, do not transgress them if any transgressed the limits (Al Hodood) ordained by Allah, such persons wrong (themselves as well as others) * " S: 2-229 punishment is for the unmarried persons guilty of the Abu-ve crime. If a married person committed it, the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allah's Law) S: 24-2.
