Q
What is the significance of providing evidence in accusations of adultery in Islamic law?
A
Hilal bin Umaiya accused his wife before the Prophet (ﷺ) of committing illegal sexual intercourse with
Sharik bin Sahma.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Produce a proof, or else you would get the legal punishment
(by being lashed) on your back.” Hilal said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! If anyone of us saw another man over
his wife, would he go to search for a proof.” The Prophet (ﷺ) went on saying, “Produce a proof or else you
would get the legal punishment (by being lashed) on your back.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then mentioned the
narration of Lian (as in the Holy Book). (Surat-al-Nur: 24)
