Surah An-Nur, Verse 2
الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ ۖ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُم بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ
"The adulteress and the adulterer—strike each of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of Allah."
The adulteress and the adulterer—strike each of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of Allah.
زانیہ اور زانی، ان دونوں میں سے ہر ایک کو سو کوڑے مارو، اور تمہیں اللہ کے دین میں ان پر رحم نہ آئے۔
