A man who says to another: You committed zina while a polytheist

Shu'bah said: It is reported from al-Hakam concerning a man who says to a man: You committed zina while you were a polytheist. He said: The prescribed punishment (hadd) is not to be applied to him.

Waki' said: Sufyan said: When he says: You committed zina while you were a polytheist, the prescribed punishment (hadd) is to be carried out on him.

Amr said: It is reported from al-Hasan al-Basri concerning a disbeliever who commits zina and the prescribed punishment (hadd) is carried out on him, and who then accepts Islam, and then some man slanders him and says: I only meant the zina that he committed while he was a disbeliever. He said: The prescribed punishment (hadd) is to be carried out on the one who slandered him.

Ibn Abi Dhi'b said: I asked al-Zuhri about a woman who committed zina while she was a Jew, a Christian or a Zoroastrian, and who then accepted Islam, and some man then slandered her: what is the ruling on this? Ibn Shihab said: The prescribed punishment (hadd) is not to be carried out on the one who slandered this woman, but he is to be given an exemplary punishment.
