The Punishment for ZINAA

(FORNICATION AND ADULTERY)
Note: Fornication is zinaa committed by an unmarried person, and adultery is zinaa by married people.

THE QURAN SHAREEF ON ZINAA: Almighty Allah states in Surah Furqan (Chapter 25) verses 68 and 69: “And those who invoke not any other God along with Allâh, nor kill such life as Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. The torment will be doubled for Him on the Day of Resurrection, and He will abide therein for a long time in disgrace;”

Comment: In this verse Allah Ta’ala equates zinaa with shirk (worshipping other Gods) and murder. Then Allah Ta’ala says the punishment will be doubled for the sin of zinaa, and on top of this the adulterer or fornicator will remain in that punishment for a long period of time in utter disgrace. Indeed, the zaani (adulterer or fornicator) is disgraced in this world, and will be disgraced on the Day of Judgment. Allah Ta’ala says in Surah Israa (17) verse 32: “And come not near to unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a shameless thing and an evil Way.”

THE HADITH SHAREEF ON ZINA: Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said: “When a Muslim commits zinaa (adultery or fornication), then the iemaan leaves the heart and hovers above like a cloud. When the fornicator wrenches himself out of that sin, the iemaan returns.” (Abu Dawood)

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) also said: “Iemaan is a Noor. Whoever commits zinaa, the (Noor of) iemaan separates itself from him. When he regrets his sin, it returns.” (Bayhaqi)

“Ieman is like a cloak which Allah confers upon whomever He wishes. When His servant commits zinaa, Allah removes from him the cloak of iemaan. If he repents, Allah returns it to him.” (Bayhaqi).

Comment: From these ahaadith we learn that precisely at the moment of fornication, there is no iemaan in the heart of the lustful one. It’s impossible for iemaan and zinaa to co-exist in a believer.
If he or she dies at that moment, they would die as a kaafier without iemaan! Allah Forbid! What about those vile ones who after committing one act of zinaa, wish to do it a second time without remorse or repentance? read more
