A sura which We have sent down and which We have ordained in it have We sent down Clear Signs, in order that ye may receive admonition. |
 |
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment. |
 |
Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and but a woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever: nor let any but such a man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman: to the Believers such a thing is forbidden. |
 |
And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;- |
 |
Unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct); for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
