Q
How does Islamic law address the issue of adultery and what are the prescribed punishments?
A
When Ma’iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (in order to confess), the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, “Probably
you have only kissed (the lady), or winked, or looked at her?” He said, “No, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” The
Prophet said, using no euphemism, “Did you have sexual intercourse with her?” The narrator added:
At that, (i.e. after his confession) the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that he be stoned (to death).
