I read so many posts here and other websites from non-Muslims that talk about women being stoned to death in Islam..so as a Muslim I wanted to explain it
this verdict is not for women only it's for both males and females who commit adultery and it's not very easy verdict to get as for person who committed this sin to receive that verdict the conditions are:1- to be married(unmarried person has another verdict)
2-that 4 adult sain are witnessed to be honest and not liars witness on the action of the illegal relationship itself and they have to witness the actual act not saying things like"they seemed like doing that" but to be 100 % sure and if the number of witnesses is less than 4 then the witnesses should stop speaking about anything or else they will be severely punished for telling a lie about a Muslim
so as you see it's extremely hard to get that and actually most of the documented cases upon the era of the prophet Muahmmed were by the demand of the person himself/herself meaning they didn't have the witnesses but they confessed and asked to receive the punishment hoping that god will forgive them and by the way confession of sins and asking for punishment is not a mandatory thing to do any sinner can just ask god for forgiveness and regret the sin he made without having to ask people to punish him, hope I made this clear for you all,regards.
