Assalamu aleikum,
Hi JohnDoe, welcome back.
''So, is stoning to death (lapidation) for adultery (or illicit sex) supported in islam/sharia or not ? It does not seem to be supported in the koran. ''
Yes in the Shari'ah stoning to death can be a penalty if following conditions can be fulfilled:
1. The offender must be sane 2. He must be a Muslim 3. He must be married 4. He must have reached the age of puberty 5. He must be a free man and not a slave.
And Allah knows best.
A tip - restrain from commiting adultery!
Salam
