Narrated Abu Huraira and Said bin Khalid:
The verdict of Allah's Apostle was sought about an unmarried slave girl guilty of illegal inter –
course. He replied, "If she commits illegal sexual intercourse, then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she
commits illegal sexual intercourse (after that for the second time), then flog her (fifty stripes), and if
she commits illegal sexual intercourse (for the third time), then flog her (fifty stripes) and sell her for
even a hair rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I am not sure whether the Prophet ordered that she be sold after
the third or fourth time of committing illegal intercourse."
