Follow Islamic Law

This hadith is about a man from the tribe of Bani Aslam who came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the mosque and confessed that he had committed illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet ﷺ turned his face away, but when the man provided four witnesses against himself, he asked him if he was married or insane. When it was revealed that he was married, the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to be stoned in a praying place until death. This hadith teaches us that those who commit illegal sexual intercourse should be punished according to Islamic law. It also shows us how merciful and compassionate our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was towards sinners as even after knowing their crime, he still gave them an opportunity for repentance and forgiveness.
