The man and woman guilty of zina: are their clothes removed or are they lashed in them?

Abu Ishaq said: It is narrated from a man of my tribe that a woman from the Subayriyyin area committed unlawful sexual intercourse (zina). Her family dressed her in a shift of silk and brought her before Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he flogged her while she was wearing it.

Sawwar said: "I was present with Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he beat his slave-woman who had committed unlawful sexual intercourse (zina), while she was wearing a wrap."

Shu'bah reports that Hammad said: "As for the one who commits unlawful sexual intercourse (zina), his clothes are to be removed." And he recited this verse: "And let not pity for the two of them seize you in the religion of Allah." [Al-Nur: 2] The narrator says: I said: "This verse is about the ruling." He said: "It is about the ruling and the flogging."

Al-Walid bin Abi Malik reports that a man who had committed unlawful sexual intercourse (zina) was brought to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him). He began to say: "This sinful body deserves to be beaten." Then he took off his gown, but he refused to beat him in that state and had his gown put back on him.
