Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
قَالَ وَ سَأَلَ رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَزْنِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِأَهْلِهِ أَ يُرْجَمُ قَالَ "لاَ " قُلْتُ هَلْ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا إِذَا زَنَى قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَالَ "لاَ".
Rifaah ibn Musa asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who commits adultery before consummating his marriage with his wife. Should he be stoned? Imam عليه السلام replied: "No." I asked: "Should they be separated if he committed adultery before consummating the marriage?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "No."
