سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الزَّانِي لا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً فَقَالَ كُنَّ نِسْوَةٌ مَشْهُورَاتٌ بِالزِّنَا وَ رِجَالٌ مَشْهُورُونَ بِالزِّنَا قَدْ عُرِفُوا بِذَلِكَ وَ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ فَمَنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ حَدُّ الزِّنَا أَوْ شُهِرَ بِهِ لَمْ يَنْبَغِ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُنَاكِحَهُ حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ مِنْهُ التَّوْبَةَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:24#h3"><a href="/books/quran:24#h3">[24:3]</a></a> And the adulterer shall not marry any but a adulteress or an idolatress</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘These were women well known with the adultery and men well known with the adultery. They were recognised with that, and the people today are with that status. So the one upon whom a Legal Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) has been established, or publicised with it, it is not befitting for anyone that he should marry him until the repentance is recognised from him’.
