Is it true that Stoning for adultery is legal in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Reference works list Saudi Arabia among countries retaining stoning as a legal punishment, and one states stoning can be imposed for adultery under Sharia. A scholarly article notes Saudi Arabia is slowly abandoning the practice, and reported stoning sentences date only to 1981-1992.
