Sura al-Nisa' 4:16 (Hanf+Shaf) - Zina (Adultery) 4:16 And if two of you commit the like [wickedness], punish them both: But if they repent and amend, let them both alone; for God is easy to be reconciled and merciful. Sura al-Nisa' 4:19 (Hanf+Hanb) - Nikah (Marriage) 4:19 O true believers, it is not lawful for you to be heirs of women against their will, nor to hinder them [from marrying others], that ye may take away part of what ye have given them [in dowry]; unless they have been guilty of a manifest crime: But converse kindly with them. And if ye hate them, it may happen that ye may hate a thing wherein God hath placed much good. Sura al-Nisa' 4:25 (Hanf+Malik+Shaf+Hanb) - Nikah (Marriage) 4:25 Whoso among you hath not means sufficient that he may marry free women, who are believers, [let him marry] with such of your maid-servants whom your right hands possess, as are true believers; for God well knoweth your faith. Ye are the one from the other: Therefore marry them with the consent of their masters; and give them their dower according to justice; [such as are] modest, not guilty of whoredom, nor entertaining lovers. And when they are married, if they be guilty of adultery, they shall suffer half the punishment which [is appointed] for the free women. This is [allowed] unto him among you, who feareth to sin [by marrying free women]; but if ye abstain [from marrying slaves, it will be] better for you; God is gracious and merciful. Sura al-An'am 6:151 (Hanf+Malik+Hanb) - Qatl (Murder) 6:151 Say, come; I will rehearse that which your Lord hath forbidden you; [that is to say], that ye be not guilty of idolatry, and [that ye shew] kindness to [your] parents, and that ye murder not your children [for fear] lest ye be reduced to poverty: We will provide for you and them; and draw not near unto hainous crimes, neither openly nor in secret; and slay not the soul which God hath forbidden [you to slay], unless for a just cause. This hath he injoined you that ye may understand. Sura al-Isra' 17:32 (Hanf+Hanb) - Zina (Adultery) 17:32 Draw not near unto fornication; for it is wickedness, and an evil way. Sura al-Nur 24:2 (Hanf+Malik+Shaf+Hanb) - Zina (Adultery) 24:2 The whore, and the whoremonger, shall ye scourge with an hundred stripes. And let not compassion towards them prevent you from [executing] the judgement of God; if ye believe in God and the last day: And let some of the true believers be witnesses of their punishment. Sura al-Nur 24:4 (Hanf+Malik) - Shahada (Confession) 24:4 But [as to] those who accuse women of reputation [of whoredom], and produce not four witnesses [of the fact], scourge them with fourscore stripes, and receive not their testimony for ever; for such are infamous prevaricators: Sura al-Nur 24:33 (Malik) - Zakat (Religious Taxes) 24:33 And let those who find not a match, keep themselves [from fornication], until God shall enrich them of his abundance. And unto such of your slaves as desire a written instrument [allowing them to redeem themselves on paying a certain sum], write [one], if ye know good in them; and give them of the riches of God, which he hath given you. And compel not your maid-servants to prostitute themselves, if they be willing to live chastly; that ye may seek the casual [advantage] of this present life: But whoever shall compel them [thereto], verily God [will be] gracious [and] merciful [unto such women] after their compulsion.
