Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you has a slave-girl who commits adultery and her adultery becomes evident, he should impose the prescribed punishment on her and not disgrace her. Then if she commits the same crime again, he should flog her, but not disgrace her. If she commits adultery again, he should impose the prescribed punishment on her and not disgrace her. If she commits adultery a fourth time, then he should sell that slave-girl, even if he has to sell her for a rope of hair or a few braided hairs.
