And it will alleviate the punishment from her if she testifies four times by Allah that the accuser (her husband) is among the liars.
Tafsir
When it is the woman's turn to swear, and she swears four times that 'Ashhedoo billah this husband is a liar', then she has made a lianda. Her swearing four times replaces the four witnesses who will testify against her. The woman who does not take the blame is free from kazf (adultery).
Kazf, in Fiqh, is to accuse someone of adultery. The one who makes this accusation is called qazf. The person who is accused of adultery is called Makzuf and the word used in the accusation of adultery is called Mekzufin.
What is said in the video
Yes, we have come to the 8th verse. Surah An-Nur, the 8th verse. And it averts the punishment from the woman that she testifies four times by Allah that the husband who accuses her of adultery is surely among the liars. When it is the woman's turn to swear, and she too says four times: eşhedü billah, this husband is among the liars, then the woman has performed li'an. These four oaths of the woman take the place of the four witnesses who would testify about her. The woman who does not take the charge upon herself is freed from what is called qadhf, that is, from adultery. In the language of fiqh, qadhf is accusing someone of adultery. The one who makes this accusation is called qadhif.
The person accused of adultery is called maqdhuf, and the word used in the accusation of adultery is called maqdhuf bih.
