A chapter that We have revealed, and made obligatory, and revealed in it clear Verses, that you may take heed.
The adulteress and the adulterer—whip each one of them a hundred lashes, and let no pity towards them overcome you regarding Allah's Law, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of believers witness their punishment.
The adulterer shall marry none but an adulteress or an idolatress; and the adulteress shall marry none but an adulterer or an idolater. That has been prohibited for the believers.
Those who accuse chaste women, then cannot bring four witnesses, whip them eighty lashes, and do not ever accept their testimony. For these are the immoral.
Except for those who repent afterwards, and reform; for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
As for those who accuse their own spouses, but have no witnesses except themselves, the testimony of one of them is equivalent to four testimonies, if he swears by Allah that he is truthful.
And the fifth time, that Allah's curse be upon him, if he is a liar.
But punishment shall be averted from her, if she swears four times by Allah, that he is a liar.
And the fifth time, that Allah's wrath be upon her, if he is truthful.
Were it not for Allah's grace upon you, and His mercy, and that Allah is Conciliatory and Wise.
