=== Islamic Jurisprudence and Legal Standards === According to '''classical [[Fiqh|Islamic jurisprudence]]''', testimony for the crime of adultery must be provided by at least four male Muslim witnesses. Some legal schools allow the substitution of up to three male witnesses with six female witnesses, but at least one witness must be male. The witnesses must be of sound mind, reliable character, and unrelated to the involved parties. This legal system emphasizes the sanctity of marriage and regards infidelity as a severe breach of religious and moral principles.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Zinā or Zināʾ |url=https://referenceworks.brill.com/display/entries/EIEO/SIM-8168.xml |access-date=2024-10-07 |website=referenceworks |doi=10.1163/1573-3912_islam_SIM_8168 |language=en|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
