وَاللّاٰتٖی یَأْتٖینَ الْفاٰحِشَةَ مِنْ نِسآٰئِكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوا عَلَیْهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةً مِنْكُمْۖ فَاِنْ شَهِدُوا فَاَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِی الْبُیُوتِ حَتّٰی یَتَوَفّٰىهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ اَوْ یَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَهُنَّ سَبٖیلًا۝١٥۝وَالَّذاٰنِ یَأْتِیاٰنِهاٰ مِنْكُمْ فَـأٰذُوهُماٰۖ فَاِنْ تاٰباٰ وَاَصْلَحاٰ فَاَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمآٰۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كاٰنَ تَوّاٰبًا رَحٖیمًا۝١٦۝اِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَی اللّٰهِ لِلَّذٖینَ یَعْمَلُونَ السُّوٓءَ بِجَهاٰلَةٍ ثُمَّ یَتُوبُونَ مِنْ قَرٖیبٍ فَاُولٰٓئِكَ یَتُوبُ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْۗ وَكاٰنَ اللّٰهُ عَلٖیمًا حَكٖیمًا۝١٧۝وَلَیْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذٖینَ یَعْمَلُونَ السَّیِّئاٰتِ حَتّٰٓی اِذاٰ حَضَرَ اَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قاٰلَ اِنّٖی تُبْتُ الْءاٰنَ وَلَا الَّذٖینَ یَمُوتُونَ وَهُمْ كُفّاٰرٌۚ اُولٰٓئِكَ اَعْتَدْناٰ لَهُمْ عَذاٰبًا اَلٖیمًا۝١٨۝یآٰ اَیُّهَا الَّذٖینَ ءاٰمَنُوا لاٰ یَحِلُّ لَكُمْ اَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسآٰءَ كَرْهًاۖ وَلاٰ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوا بِبَعْضِ مآٰ ءاٰتَیْتُمُوهُنَّ اِلّآٰ اَنْ یَأْتٖینَ بِفاٰحِشَةٍ مُبَیِّنَةٍۚ وَعاٰشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِۚ فَاِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسٰٓی اَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَیْئًا وَیَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ فٖیهِ خَیْرًا كَثٖیرًا۝١٩۝

Should any of your women commit an indecent act, produce against them four witnesses from yourselves, and if they testify, detain them in [their] houses until death finishes them, or Allah decrees a course for them. ﴾15﴿Should two among you commit it, chastise them both; but if they repent and reform, let them alone. Indeed Allah is all-clement, all-merciful. ﴾16﴿[Acceptance of] repentance by Allah is only for those who commit evil out of ignorance and then repent promptly. It is such whose repentance Allah will accept, and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise. ﴾17﴿But [acceptance of] repentance is not for those who go on committing misdeeds: when death approaches any of them, he says, ‘I repent now.’ Nor is it for those who die while they are faithless. For such We have prepared a painful punishment. ﴾18﴿O you who have faith! It is not lawful for you to inherit women forcibly, and do not press them to take away part of what you have given them, unless they commit a gross indecency. Consort with them in an honourable manner; and should you dislike them, maybe you dislike something while Allah invests it with an abundant good. ﴾19﴿
