Explanation & Benefits

Lexical Explanation:
«فِي قِصَّةِ الْغَامِدِيَّةِ» She is called "Ghamidiyyah" because she was affiliated with the tribe of Ghamid, which was a branch of the tribe of Juhaynah. The story is that this woman confessed before the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that she was pregnant from adultery, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ordered that she be stoned after the child was born and the period of nursing was completed. "Rajm" means that the criminal is put to death by being pelted with stones.
«فَصَّلّٰي عَلَيْهَا» According to most commentators, this is in the active voice, while according to some, it is in the passive voice.
Benefits and Issues:
➊ This hadith is evidence that if someone is subjected to a prescribed legal punishment (hadd) and dies as a result, his funeral prayer should be performed. For further details, see: [ارواء الغليل، حديث : 2323 ونيل الاوطار، باب الصلاة على من قتل فى حد]
➋ It is established from authentic narrations that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself performed the funeral prayer of the Ghamidiyyah woman. Regarding those who commit major sins, such as suicide or adultery, Qadi Iyad has stated that according to the scholars, their funeral prayer should be performed. However, Imam Malik rahimahullah says that the (chief) Imam and the mufti should refrain from leading the funeral prayer of an open sinner (fasiq), so that the sinners may take heed from this.

Vocabulary of the Hadith:
يَتَسَارَ اِلَيْهِ:
It has been recited in both the active and passive forms,
and it is derived from "sarur" (delight).
That is, it is a cause of longing and happiness,
something that becomes a reason, and here "sajdah"
is in the meaning of "rak‘ah" (unit of prayer).

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The benefits have already been mentioned in the narration above.
Furthermore, it is not permissible to revile or insult a Muslim upon whom the prescribed punishment (hadd) is being carried out.
➋ Extortion (bhatta) is a major sin and forbidden (haram).
➌ A child born out of wedlock (walad al-zina), as a human soul, is innocent; there is no fault or defect of his own in this matter. It is the responsibility of the Islamic government to make proper arrangements for such a child’s nursing, upbringing, and excellent education and training, and to bear the expenses.
➍ Such a person, although he may not receive honor from the general public due to his lineage, if he somehow attains a position of leadership (whether minor or major imamate), then his actions will be valid and correct, and following him in prayer will also be valid.
