وَاللَّاتِي
يَأْتِينَ
الْفَاحِشَةَ
مِن
نِّسَائِكُمْ
فَاسْتَشْهِدُوا
عَلَيْهِنَّ
أَرْبَعَةً
مِّنكُمْ
فَإِن
شَهِدُوا
فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ
فِي
الْبُيُوتِ
حَتَّى
يَتَوَفَّاهُنَّ
الْمَوْتُ
أَوْ
يَجْعَلَ
اللَّهُ
لَهُنَّ
سَبِيلًا

Those of your women who commit fornication, let four (Muslim) witness testify to their act. If there is sufficient testimony, confine them to their homes until they die, or until God provides a way for their freedom.
