## Hadith #4413

**Book:** Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud) | **Narrator(s):** al-Hasan al-Basri الحسن البصري, Htan bin 'Abdullah حطان بن عبد الله الرقاشي, Masdad bin Masrhad مسدد بن مسرهد بن مسربل, Qatada قتادة, Sa'id bin Abi 'Aruba سعيد بن أبي عروبة, Ubada bin As-Samit, Yahya bin Sa'id bin Farroukh al-Qatan يحيى بن سعيد بن فروخ القطان | **Grade:** Hasan

The Qur’anic verse goes: “If any of your woman are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four (reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them, and if they testify, Confine them to houses until death do chain them or Allah ordains for them some (other) way. Allah then mentioned man after woman and combined them in another verse :  “If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, leave them alone. This command was abrogated by the verse relating to flogging : “The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication – flog  each of them with one hundred stripes.
