[Machine] A man who used to gather firewood was freed by Omar bin Al-Khattab if he prayed, fasted, and owned a Nubian slave who also prayed and fasted but did not understand Arabic. She would only understand him through gestures. The man went to Omar and informed him of the situation, to which Omar replied, "You are not bringing any good to us." This scared the man, so Omar sent for the slave and asked her if she was pregnant. She confirmed and mentioned that it was from a man who paid her two silver coins. Upon hearing this, Omar called upon Ali, Uthman, and Abdur Rahman bin Awf and asked them to give their opinion. They were not present, so the slave asked them to make hand gestures. Ali and Abdur Rahman said that the punishment had already fallen upon her, and Uthman, who was sitting, agreed. She asked them to point towards her. Uthman replied, "Your brothers have already pointed at you," to which she requested Uthman to point at her. He responded by saying that he believed she acted as if she did not know. He also added that punishment is only applicable to those who are aware of the law. Omar agreed with this and thus, he flogged her a hundred times and then banished her for a year. The scholar (may Allah have mercy on him) commented that her punishment was stoning, but it was removed due to the suspicion of ignorance. Omar flogged and banished her as a form of punishment. And Allah knows best.
