Is Fornication A Crime Or Just A Sin
@faisalharoon shb thanks for the response and the link for my previous question. That is a very detailed discussion that I had been following however, here my question is about regarding this as a crime. I completely understand the perspective of it being a sin and the rationale behind prohibition however, regarding anything a crime requires two conditions as mentioned in the question. Neither of the two conditions is applicable for out of wedlock contact with mutual consent. Neither there is any “haq-talafi” nor a concern to someone’s life, wealth, and honor. With the absence of these two reasoning, why it is regarded as a crime instead of just a sin. This still requires a bit clarification. Maybe I missed any point answering this concern? Thanks again.
