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)
