Traductions

Le fornicateur n'épousera qu'une fornicatrice ou une associatrice. Et la fornicatrice ne sera épousée que par un fornicateur ou un associateur; et cela a été interdit aux croyants.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

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.

Sahih International · EN

Tafsir

Le crime de la fornication est tellement horrible qu’Allah affirme que le fornicateur ne désire épouser qu’une fornicatrice comme lui ou une polythéiste pour qui cette abomination n’est pas chose grave, sachant qu’il est illicite qu’un musulman épouse une polythéiste. De même, une fornicatrice ne désire épouser qu’un fornicateur comme elle ou un polythéiste pour qui cette abomination n’est pas chose grave, sachant qu’il est illicite qu’une musulmane épouse un polythéiste. Il est déclaré illicite aux croyants et croyantes d’épouser des fornicateurs ou des fornicatrices.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

The Zani marries not but a Zaniyah or a Mushrikah; and the Zaniyah, none marries her except a Zani or a Mushrik. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (3) Here Allah tells us that the Zani (male who is guilty of illegal sex) does not have intercourse except with a Zaniyah (female who is guilty of illegal sex) or a Mushrikah (female idolator), meaning that no one would go along with him in this action except a sinful woman who is also guilty of Zina, or a Mushrikah who does not think it is unlawful. By the same token, وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ (and the Zaniyah, none marries her except a Zani) a sinful man who is guilty of fornication, أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ (or a Mushrik)(a man) who does not think it is unlawful. وَحُرِّمَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (Such a thing is forbidden to the believers.) meaning, indulging in this, or marrying prostitutes, or marrying chaste women to immoral men. Qatadah and Muqatil bin Hayyan said: "Allah forbade the believers from marrying prostitutes." This Ayah is like the Ayah (about marrying slave-girls): مُحْصَنَاتٍ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحَاتٍ وَلَا مُتَّخِذَاتِ أَخْدَانٍ (they should be chaste, not committing illegal sex, nor taking boyfriends.)(4:25) And His saying: مُحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحِينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِي أَخْدَانٍ (desiring chastity not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girlfriends)(5:5). Imam Ahmad recorded that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, said that a man among the believers asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission (to marry) a woman known as Umm Mahzul, who used to commit adultery, and who had stated the condition that she should spend on him. So he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission, or he mentioned the matter to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to him: الزَّانِي لَا يَنكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ ۚ وَحُرِّمَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (The Zani marries not but a Zaniyah or a Mushrikah; and the Zaniyah, none marries her except Zani or a Mushrik. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers.)(24:3) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, لَا يَنْكِحُ الزَّانِي الْمَجْلُودُ إِلَّا مِثْلَهُ (A Zani who has been flogged should not marry anyone except someone who is like him.) A similar report was recorded by Abu Dawud in his Sunan.
