If the woman refuses (nakalat) to perform the liʿan (mutual curse), she is to be stoned, and the stoning should be carried out from behind her and not from the front. This is because striking and stoning should not target the face; rather, they should be directed at the body and limbs, while the face and private parts must be avoided. If the woman is pregnant, she is not to be stoned. However, if she does not refuse to perform liʿan, the punishment of stoning is lifted from her, and they are separated permanently. She will never be permissible for him again. If anyone calls her child the offspring of adultery (ibn zaniyah), they are to be lashed the prescribed punishment for false accusation. If the man later acknowledges the child after the liʿan, the child will be attributed to him, but the wife will not be returned to him. If the father dies, the child inherits from him. However, if the child dies, the father does not inherit from him; rather, the inheritance goes to the mother. If the mother is not alive, the inheritance goes to the child's maternal relatives, and no one from the father's side inherits from him. If a man accuses his mute wife of adultery, they are to be separated. If a slave accuses his wife of adultery, they must perform liʿan just as free men and women do. Liʿan applies between a free man and a free woman, between a slave and a free woman, between a free man and a female slave, between a male slave and a female slave, and between a Muslim man and a Jewish or Christian woman.
