[Machine] "The saying of Allah SWT: 'The adulterer does not marry except an adulteress or polytheist.' (Surah An-Nur, verse 3). It was stated that this is a judgment between them. Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said that it was narrated from Ikrimah that he said: 'The adulterer does not commit adultery except with an adulteress or a polytheist, and the adulteress does not commit adultery except with an adulterer or a polytheist.' It is understood from this that his statement 'marry' is correct."  

قَوْلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى {الزَّانِي لَا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً} [النور 3] قَالَ ذَلِكَ حُكْمٌ بَيْنَهُمَا فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الزَّانِي لَا يَزْنِي إِلَّا بِزَانِيَةٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكَةٍ وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَزْنِي بِهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَنَّ قَوْلَهُ يَنْكِحُ يُصِيبُ
