Is Zina Adultery Or Fornication As Well? Reasoning For Prohibiting Fornication.
I think Ghamidi Sahab has been very clear about the restriction of zina for both married and unmarried. The ruling is not restricted to adultery (zina by the married) but includes the fornicators (zina by the unmarried). Quran has been been very clear about sexual relationships to be limited between only husband and a wife ( Quran 23:06 ) and ( Quran 70:30 ). Allowing sexual relationships before marriage tantamount to destruction of institution of marriage/family. Discussion 34180 • Reply 35812
Brother Irfan, you response begs for more details. I do not support open society, but I am exploring the core reason why Islam has prohibited open relationships. The reasons I see do not carry weight. In addition to my statement earlier, I wonder 1. If preservation of family is the core reason to prohibit free sex, then I am confused why Quran recommends that a adulterer can only marry an adulteress or idolatress. I am assuming here that Quran is talking about a habitual adulterer or adulteress. 2. Is there any research that adultery becomes an addiction and remains to be an addition after marriage…any more than a married person wishing for multiple wives? 3. These days getting accidentally pregnant is either deliberate or complete carelessness; especially when there is morning after pill. Then early abortion is fairly simple. 4. Having free sex will ruin society need to be seen. All societies come to an end no matter what. I still conclude that it is prohibited just because Allah said so…to test us and give us various rankings. It doesn’t seem much different from the test of fasting, prayer, etc.
