The fornicator does not marry except a ˹female˺ fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist, and that has been made unlawful to the believers.
الزَّانِي لَا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ ۚ وَحُرِّمَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

[Machine] "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, can we marry slaves?' He remained silent, and then I recited the verse from the Quran: 'The adulterer does not marry except an adulteress or polytheist, and none marries her except an adulterer or a polytheist. And that has been made unlawful to the believers' (Quran 24:3). So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ read it to me and said, 'Do not marry her.'"
فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْكِحُ عَنَاقَ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي فَنَزَلَتْ {الزَّانِي لَا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ وَحُرِّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النور 3] فَقَرَأَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «لَا تَنْكِحْهَا»
[Machine] He said about this verse {The adulterer does not marry except an adulteress or polytheist, and none marries her except an adulterer or a polytheist} [An-Nur 3], he said: There were known prostitutes in the city, so Allah made their marriage forbidden for the believers, and this is the statement of Qatadah.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {الزَّانِي لَا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ} [النور 3] قَالَ كُنَّ بَغَايَا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ مَعْلُومٌ شَأْنُهُنَّ فَحَرَّمَ اللهُ نِكَاحَهُنَّ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ قَتَادَةَ
