Zina In Islam
One of the aims of the Islaamic Sharee'ah is to preserve honor
and lineage, so Zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) is forbidden
Allah The Almighty Says (what means): (And come not near
to unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily it is a Faahishah a great
sin] and an evil way [that leads to Hell unless Allaah forgives]}
[Qur'aan 17:32]
The Sharee'ah blocks all the ways and means that could lead
to Zina, by enjoining Hijaab (Islamic covering) and lowering
the gaze, and by forbidding being alone with a non-Mahram
woman, etc.
The married man who commits adultery deserves the worst
kind of punishment, which is stoning to death, so that he may
taste the results of his deeds and so that every part of his
body may suffer just as every part of his body enjoyed the
illicit liaison. The fornicator who was previously unmarried
is to be punished with the maximum number of lashes
mentioned in Sharee'ah, which is one hundred lashes, in
addition to the scandal of this punishment being witnessed
by a group of believers, and the humiliation of being banished
from his city and the scene of his crime for one full year.
In the Barzakh, the punishment for men and women who
were guilty of Zina is that they will be in an oven whose top
is narrow and whose bottom is wide, with a fire beneath it,
and they will be naked therein. When the heat of the fire
increases, they will scream and rise up until they nearly
come out of the top, then when the fire decreases, they will
fall back down. This will repeated
Over and over until the onset of the hour.
What is even worse is when a man continues to commit
adultery even when he grows old, death approaches and Allaah
The Almighty gives him the opportunity to repent. Abu Hurayrah,
may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet of
Allaah, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "There are three to
whom Allaah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor
praise, nor look at; theirs will be a painful torment: an old man
who commits Zina, a king who lies, and a poor man who is
arrogant." (Reported by Muslim 1/102-103)
Among the worst of incomes is the earnings of a prostitute
which she takes before committing Zina, and the immoral
woman who earns her living by selling herself is deprived of.
having her prayers answered when the gates of heaven are
opened at midnight (The Hadeeth regarding this is in Saheeh
al-Jaami',2971)
Being in need or being poor are not acceptable excuses for
transgressing the limits set by Allah The Almighty. There is an
old saying that the free woman would rather starve than eat by
displaying her breasts, so how about her private parts then?
Nowadays all the doors of immorality have been opened,
and the Shaytaan and his supporters have facilitated the
committing of sins for people. This has been followed by the
spread of Tabarruj (wanton display) and unveiling among
women, people allowing their gazes to wander to things
they should not look at, an increase in mixing between the
sexes, the popularity of immoral magazines and lewd films,
increased travel to corrupt countries and the establishment
of a market for prostitution, an increase in the violation of
honor, and an increase in the number of illegitimate births
and abortions.
O Allah, we ask you to show us Your mercy and to protect
us from immorality; we ask You to purify our hearts and
to keep our private parts chaste, and to place a barrier
between us and what is Haraam
