[quote]<p align=justify>There is no sin that is unforgivable. No matter how gross error a person has made, as he/she seeks refuge in Allah, they are forgiven instantly.

<p align=justify>Stoning to death is not a punishment that has been prescribed by the Shari'ah, the Law of God. Actually, the Holy Qur'an says that anyone who is guilty of spreading disorder in land may be put to death in an exemplary manner. This extreme punishment is for those for who spread nuisance in the society and do not deserve any lenience. They will be killed in an exemplary manner; this is what the Holy Qur'an says (5:33-34). 'Stoning to death' is one type of exemplary punishment, which a court  of law may decide to give to a criminal guilty of spreading nuisance.

<p align=justify> Adultery is though a despicable crime, it does not fall under the heading 'spreading disorder in land'. However, if a group of people take on the prostitution business, it is like spreading evil in the society and thus amount to disorder. Anyhow, it is all up to the court of Law to determine what crime is analogous to spreading disorder and what is just an isolated crime.
