Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:Certainly I did ask what the punishment would be but I did not ask for an explanation as to how SisterJennifer (or you) arrived at that.
And certainly I’ve mentioned in post# 11 about the punishment of Zina in Islam.
Quote:First revelation concerning the punishment of zina was that a woman guilty of zina was <b>to be confined to her home until she die </b> (An-Nisaa' 4:15). The second revelation covered both men and women and <b>was not very specific regarding punishment:</b>
[And as for the two who are guilty of indecency from among you, <b>give them both a punishment</b>; then if they repent and amend, turn aside from them; surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.]
(An-Nisaa' 4:16)
Allah Almighty then revealed:
[(As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, <b>flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes,</b> and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah and the last day.] (An-Nur 24:2)
Stoning to death was prescribed for married women who commit adultery. not for people who fell in love John.
