عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الزَّانِي لا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً قَالَ هُمْ رِجَالٌ وَ نِسَاءٌ كَانُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَشْهُورِينَ بِالزِّنَا فَنَهَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ أُولَئِكَ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءِ وَ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ شَهَرَ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ فَلَا تُزَوِّجُوهُ حَتَّى تُعْرَفَ تَوْبَتُهُ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Aban Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of the 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>, he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘These were the men and the women in the era of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> notorious with the adultery. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Forbade from those men and the women; and the people today are upon that status, the one who has been publicised with anything from that, or a legal Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) has been established upon him. Therefore, do not marry him until you recognise his repentance’.
