00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

Give me the capital punishment for accusing a

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

chaste woman of having committed a zina. What

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

is the capital punishment?

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

Making that accusation.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

She is lashed.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

She's whipped. Not hurt.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

The guy who accused her is lashed, and

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

he's whipped.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

If he doesn't bring forth 4 witnesses,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

or he had 3 and a one pulls

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

up last minute,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

all 3 of them and the accuser are

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

going to get asked.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

Her dignity and her honor is on the

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

line. Today it becomes so loose, right, to

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

accuse a woman, oh she's this, she's that.
