وَالّٰتٖی یَاْتٖینَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِنْ نِسَٓائِكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوا عَلَیْهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةً مِنْكُمْۚ فَاِنْ شَهِدُوا فَاَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِی الْبُیُوتِ حَتّٰى یَتَوَفّٰیهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ اَوْ یَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَهُنَّ سَبٖیلًا

Waallatee yateena alfahishata min nisaikum faistashhidoo AAalayhinna arbaAAatan minkum fain shahidoo faamsikoohunna fee albuyooti hatta yatawaffahunna almawtu aw yajAAala Allahu lahunna sabeelan
