Chapter on What Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, Has Made Permissible and Prohibited in Marriage
رَوَى دَاوُدُ بْنُ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: اَلزّٰانِي لاٰ يَنْكِحُ إِلاّٰ زٰانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَ اَلزّٰانِيَةُ لاٰ يَنْكِحُهٰا إِلاّٰ زٰانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ قَالَ "هُنَّ نِسَاءٌ مَشْهُورَاتٌ بِالزِّنَا وَ رِجَالٌ مَشْهُورُونَ بِالزِّنَا شُهِرُوا بِالزِّنَا وَ عُرِفُوا بِهِ وَ اَلنَّاسُ اَلْيَوْمَ بِتِلْكَ اَلْمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ حَدُّ اَلزِّنَا أَوْ شُهِرَ بِالزِّنَا لَمْ يَنْبَغِ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُنَاكِحَهُ حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ مِنْهُ تَوْبَةً".
It is narrated by Dawood bin Sirhan from Zurarah, who said that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, was asked about the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic: "The adulterer does not marry except an adulteress or a polytheist, and the adulteress does not marry except an adulterer or a polytheist." (Surah An-Nur 24:3) Imam عليه السلام said: "They are women known for adultery and men known for adultery, who have been publicly infamous for committing adultery and are recognized for it. Today, people in such a situation, whether the prescribed punishment for adultery has been carried out on them or they are publicly known for adultery, should not be married until their repentance is established."
