✅ Answer: Refer to the following narrations:

1⃣ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ رَجُلَیْنِ افْتَرَی کُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَی صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ یُدْرَأُ عَنْهُمَا الْحَدُّ وَ یُعَزَّرَانِ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 7, p. 240

Abdullah bin Sinan said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about two men who accuse each other. The Imam said: The punishment is waived for both, and both are given ta'zir (a discretionary punishment decided by the Imam, less severe than the hadd).

2⃣عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِی وَلَّادٍ الْحَنَّاطِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ یَقُولُ أُتِیَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ بِرَجُلَیْنِ قَدْ قَذَفَ کُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ بِالزِّنَی فِی بَدَنِهِ فَدَرَأَ عَنْهُمَا الْحَدَّ وَ عَزَّرَهُمَا.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 7, p. 242

Abu Walad Hannat said: I heard Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) say: Two men who accused each other of adultery were brought before Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him). The Imam waived the hadd punishment for both and imposed ta'zir on both!

✅ Based on the above narrations, if someone is accused of qadhf and retaliates by accusing the other person, neither has the right to demand the hadd punishment of 80 lashes. Instead, both will be punished with ta'zir by the Imam (peace be upon him).

✅ Qadhf (accusation of adultery or sodomy) is one of the gravest violations of others' rights, often taken lightly, but it carries severe consequences for the afterlife. Consider the following important narration:

3⃣ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُعْمَانَ الْجُعْفِیِّ قَالَ: کَانَ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ صَدِیقٌ لَا یَکَادُ یُفَارِقُهُ إِذَا ذَهَبَ مَکَاناً فَبَیْنَمَا هُوَ یَمْشِی مَعَهُ فِی الْحَذَّاءِینَ وَ مَعَهُ غُلَامٌ لَهُ سِنْدِیٌّ یَمْشِی خَلْفَهُمَا إِذَا الْتَفَتَ الرَّجُلُ یُرِیدُ غُلَامَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمْ یَرَهُ اَللَّهِ نَظَرَ فِی الرَّابِعَةِ قَالَ یَا ابْنَ الْفَاعِلَةِ أَیْنَ کُنْتَ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ یَدَهُ فَصَکَّ بِهَا جَبْهَةَ نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَقْذِفُ أُمَّهُ قَدْ کُنْتُ أَرَی أَنَّ لَکَ وَرَعاً فَإِذَا لَیْسَ لَکَ وَرَعٌ فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ إِنَّ أُمَّهُ سِنْدِیَّةٌ مُشْرِکَةٌ فَقَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ لِکُلِّ أُمَّةٍ نِکَاحاً تَنَحَّ عَنِّی قَالَ فَمَا رَأَیْتُهُ یَمْشِی مَعَهُ حَتَّی فَرَّقَ الْمَوْتُ بَیْنَهُمَا.

- وَ فِی رِوَایَةٍ أُخْرَی إِنَّ لِکُلِّ أُمَّةٍ نِکَاحاً یَحْتَجِزُونَ بِهِ مِنَ الزِّنَا.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 2, p. 324

Amr bin Nu'man Jufi said: Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) had a companion who never left his side. While walking with the Imam in the shoe market, a servant from Sind followed them. Three times, the companion turned to look but didn’t see him. On the fourth turn, he saw him and said: 'Son of an adulteress! Where were you?' The narrator said: The Imam raised his hand and struck his forehead hard, saying: 'SubhanAllah! You accuse his mother and accuse him of adultery? I thought you had piety, but it turns out you do not!' The man replied: 'May I be your ransom! His mother is from Sind and is a polytheist!' The Imam said: 'Don’t you know that every nation has marriage customs?' He then said: 'Leave me!'

The narrator said: I never saw him walk with the Imam again until death separated them.

Another narration states that the Imam said: 'Indeed, every nation has a form of marriage that prevents them from adultery!'

✅ This shows how accusing a polytheist woman led the Imam to distance himself from his companion due to the latter’s lack of piety!

✅ Unfortunately, some followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them all) easily accuse others of adultery or sodomy without realizing the dire consequences they are preparing for their afterlife!

Had modesty not been a concern, I would have listed common phrases among people that amount to qadhf to illustrate how widespread this grave sin has become!

⛔️ Do not commit qadhf, as one of its consequences is falling from the favor of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him)! ⛔️

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
