Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Ma'iz ibn Malik al-Aslami was the first person to be stoned for adultery in Islam. He was married (muhsan) and confessed to adultery out of repentance, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had him stoned. The exact date of the stoning is not specified, but it is likely to have been around the ninth year of the Hijra or a little before, as evidenced by the fact that the Ghamidi woman was stoned after him in the ninth year of the Hijra.
