Sura 24
Aya 2
2
الزّانِيَةُ وَالزّاني فَاجلِدوا كُلَّ واحِدٍ مِنهُما مِائَةَ جَلدَةٍ ۖ وَلا تَأخُذكُم بِهِما رَأفَةٌ في دينِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُم تُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ ۖ وَليَشهَد عَذابَهُما طائِفَةٌ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

Whip a hundred lashes each, the (unmarried) adulteress and the adulterer (on validation of adultery in accordance with conditions of statutory [hadd] punishment. If married, then both are to be stoned to death). And you should not feel even the slightest pity for both of them (in executing the command of Din [Religion]) if you have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And a (sizeable) party of Muslims should be present on (the occasion of) award of punishment to both of them.
