Whoever disbelieved in stoning [as a legislated punishment] has certainly disbelieved in the Qur’an without considering. And that is Allah’s statement, exalted is He, «O People of the Book, Our messenger has come to you, clarifying for you much of what you used to hide of the Book, while he excuses much» (5:15). From what they hid was the [law concerning] stoning [as a punishment].
