4.15

وَ الّٰتِیْ یَاْتِیْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِنْ نِّسَآىٕكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوْا عَلَیْهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنْكُمْۚ-فَاِنْ شَهِدُوْا فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ فِی الْبُیُوْتِ حَتّٰى یَتَوَفّٰهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ اَوْ یَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِیْلًا(15)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And take testimony from four selected (upright) men amongst you against your women who commit indecency (i.e. adultery/fornication). Then, if they testify, so confine those women in the houses until death overtakes them or Allah opens some way for them. (This ruling has been abrogated by the law of lashing and stoning.)

Commentary

To confine women to their homes until death if they are guilty of fornication was a command which applied before the specified punishment of lashing or stoning; when the rulings related to adultery and fornication were revealed, this command (confinement) was abrogated. The punishment for adultery (zinā) and defamation (qadhf) are stipulated in the Qurʾan (24:2 and 24:4, respectively).
