Malik said, "The position with us about a woman who is found to
be pregnant and has no husband and she says, 'I was forced,' or she
says, 'I was married,' is that it is not accepted from her and the
hadd is inflicted on her unless she has a clear proof of what she
claims about the marriage or that she was forced or she comes bleeding
if she was a virgin or she calls out for help so that someone comes to
her and she is in that state or what resembles it of the situation in
which the violation occurred." He said, "If she does not produce any
of those, the hadd is inflicted on her and what she claims of that is
not accepted from her."

Malik related to me from Zurayq ibn Hakim al-Ayli that a man
called Misbah asked his son for help and he thought him unnecessarily
slow. When the son came, his father said to him, "O fornicator."
Zurayq said, "So the son asked me to help him against the father. When
I wanted to flog him, his son said, 'By Allah, if you flog him, I will
acknowledge that I have committed fornication.' When he said that, the
situation was confused for me, so I wrote about it to Umar ibn Abd al-
Aziz who was the governor at that time, and I mentioned it to him.
Umar wrote me to permit his pardon."
