Do a man and a woman become "muḥṣan" (protected/chaste) immediately upon the consummation of their marriage contract (for the first time) between them?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The muhsan (chaste, married) individual whose punishment is stoning is the free, adult person who has had intercourse with their spouse in the vagina through a valid marriage. It is not a condition that they be married at the time of committing the act that necessitates stoning. So, whoever divorces or whose wife dies remains a muhsan if the remaining conditions are met.
