Surah An Nur ayat 4 Tafsir Quran 24:4

﴿وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَدًا ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ﴾
[ النور: 4]

24:4 And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses - lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient,

And those who accuse honourable women in wedlock who are chaste of fornication and then do not bring four witnesses to testify as eyewitnesses to their fornication strike them eighty lashes that is each one of them and do not accept any testimony from them ever in anything; and those they are the immoral for committing a grave sin kabīra;

And those who bring ill-fame upon virtuous women and do not support their accusation by four witnesses are offenders who must suffer for their offense. You flog them with the lash eighty strokes and deny them attestation in support of any matter whatsoever and forever, for such persons are indeed immoral and truly wicked

The Prescribed Punishment for slandering Chaste Women This Ayah states the prescribed punishment for making false accusations against chaste women, i.e., those who are free, adult and chaste.
If the person who is falsely accused is a man, the same punishment of flogging also applies.
If the accuser produces evidence that what he is saying is true, then the punishment does not apply.
Allah said: ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُواْ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلاَ تَقْبَلُواْ لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَداً وَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْفَـسِقُونَ ( and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever.
They indeed are the rebellious. ) If the accuser cannot prove that what he is saying is true, then three rulings apply to him: ( firstly ) that he should be flogged with eighty stripes, ( secondly ) that his testimony should be rejected forever, and ( thirdly ) that he should be labelled as a rebellious who is not of good character, whether in the sight of Allah or of mankind. Explaining the Repentance of the One Who makes a False Accusation Then Allah says: إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ تَابُواْ مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُواْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ( Except those who repent thereafter and do righteous deeds; (for such ) verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.) This exception refers to the second and third rulings mentioned above.
The flogging has been carried out regardless of whether he repents or persists, and after that there is no further punishment, as is agreed among the scholars.
If he repents, then his testimony may be accepted, and he is no longer to be regarded as a rebellious.
This was the view of Sa`id bin Al-Musayyib -- the leader of the Tabi`in -- and also a group among the Salaf.
Ash-Sha`bi and Ad-Dahhak said, "His testimony cannot be accepted even if he does repent, unless he himself admits that he said something false, in which case his testimony may be accepted." And Allah knows best.

( And those who accuse honourable women ) of committing adultery ( but bring not four witnesses ) four upright, Muslim persons, ( scourge them (with )) flog them ( eighty stripes ) for their slander ( and never (afterward ) accept their testimony. They indeed are evil-doers) they are sinners because of their slander.

And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever, they indeed are the Fasiqun (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
