2694. Mu'adh bin Jabal, Abu ʿUbaidah bin Jarrâh, ʿUbâdah bin Sâmit and Shaddâd bin Aws narrated that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "If a woman kills someone deliberately, she should not be killed until she delivers what is in her womb, if she is pregnant, and until the child's sponsorship is guaranteed. And if a woman commits illegal sex, she should not be stoned until she delivers what is in her womb and until her child's sponsorship is guaranteed." (Da'if)

Arabic text

2694 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَنْعُمَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، وَعُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ، وَشَدَّادُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا قَتَلَتْ عَمْدًا لَا تُقْتَلُ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا إِنْ كَانَتْ حَامِلًا، وَحَتَّى يُكْفَلَ وَلَدُهَا، وَإِنْ زَنَتْ لَمْ تُرْجَمْ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا، وَحَتَّى يُكْفَلَ وَلَدُهَا»

Commentary

Ghamidiyah happened to commit the crime of illegal sex and she appeared before the Prophet ﷺ and confessed her offence and also informed that she was pregnant. The Noble Prophet ﷺ delayed the punishment till the birth of the baby. After the birth when an Ansâri Companion took the responsibility of upbringing the child, and she was stoned to death. (Sahih Muslim: 1695) In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
