The texts

الْجَهْل بِتَحْرِيمِ الزِّنَى: ٢٦ - يُعْذَرُ الْجَاهِل بِتَحْرِيمِ الزِّنَى إِنْ كَانَ قَرِيبَ عَهْدٍ بِالإِْسْلاَمِ، أَوْ نَشَأَ فِي بَادِيَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ عَنِ الْعُلَمَاءِ أَوْ كَانَ مَجْنُونًا فَأَفَاقَ وَزَنَى قَبْل أَنْ يَعْلَمَ الأَْحْكَامَ، وَعِنْدَ الْمَالِكِيَّةِ قَوْلاَنِ (٢) . وَتَفْصِيلُهُ فِي مُصْطَلَحِ: (حُدُودٌ، زِنًى) .
