Question
I would like to know more about the meaning of this part of Surah al-Nisa’:
“If any of your women are guilty of lewdness . . . confine them to houses until
death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.” [al-Nisaa’ 4:15]
Does this mean to punish a woman who has committed adultery by death, or does
it mean to imprison her for the remainder of her life? Also what does “or Allah
make some way for them” mean?
Thank you for you time, I look forward to your response so that I may better
understand Islam through the explanation of Muslims as opposed to those of
non-Muslims.
