The woman, identified only as Seema, had been sentenced to stoning and 100 lashes for adultery and 15 years in prison for being an accomplice in her husband's murder.
The husband was reportedly killed by one of the woman's lovers, Shargh daily reported. Shahrudi only quashed the stoning sentence.
Shahrudi also ordered a review into the amputation of a 20-year old Iranian man, convicted of being a "Mohareb" (God's enemy) for armed robbery.
