الزَّانِيَةُ

وَالزَّانِي

فَاجْلِدُوا

كُلَّ

وَاحِدٍ

مِّنْهُمَا

مِائَةَ

جَلْدَةٍ

وَلَا

تَأْخُذْكُم

بِهِمَا

رَأْفَةٌ

دِينِ

اللَّهِ

إِن

كُنتُمْ

تُؤْمِنُونَ

بِاللَّهِ

وَالْيَوْمِ

الْآخِرِ

وَلْيَشْهَدْ

عَذَابَهُمَا

طَائِفَةٌ

مِّنَ

الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Flog the fornicatress and the fornicator with a hundred lashes each. Let there be no reluctance in enforcing the laws of God, if you have faith in God and the Day of Judgment. Let it take place in the presence of a group of believers.
