Commentary
Confession of the crime of illegal sexual intercourse before the judge, is a matter of great resolve which shows the strength of faith. If a woman is pregnant as a result of illegal relations, her punishment is delayed until she gives birth to the child, and has suckled and weaned the child. Before stoning to death, her clothes should be tied tightly around her body so that she would not become uncovered. The funeral prayer is performed for one who has been punished.
