بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

24.4-5

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَرْمُوْنَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَاْتُوْا بِاَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ فَاجْلِدُوْهُمْ ثَمٰنِیْنَ جَلْدَةً وَّ لَا تَقْبَلُوْا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً اَبَدًاۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَۙ (4) اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ وَ اَصْلَحُوْاۚ-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(5)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And those who accuse chaste women but do not bring forth four witnesses, lash them with eighty lashes, and never accept their testimony again—those people are evildoers[1]— except those who repent and reform themselves; surely Allah is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

Commentary

[1]

Chaste women are Muslim, legally responsible (mukallaf), and innocent of adultery. Women were singled out here because of a specific context or because they are usually victims of such accusations. Otherwise, the penalty for charging a chaste man of adultery is also eighty lashes.
