I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "If a slave-girl of yours commits illegal sexual intercourse and her illegalsexual intercourse is proved, she should be lashed, and after that nobody should blame her, and if shecommits illegal sexual intercourse the second time, she should be lashed and nobody should blame herafter that, and if she does the offense for the third time and her illegal sexual intercourse is proved, sheshould be sold even for a hair rope."
