What Is The True Reason Why Extramarital Relationships Is Such A Severe Sin
Nadeem sahab, please read the explanation of Al-Bayan about the verses you shared above.
Brother Faisal. Thank you for your reference. I spent quite some time going through the information. Although it was informative, but in no way addressed my question. Actually it reinforced that adultery is the 3rd largest sin with the punishment of 100 lashes. Also that in Ghamidi Sahib’s opinion, such severe law is to preserve sanctity of family. My assertion here, once again, is that preservation of family doesn’t seem to be to be the reason Islam has such harsh punishment fo adultery, because if that was the purpose, neglect and abuse of family would have the similar harsh punishment. I still think there is some other reason.
It seems it should be for “preservation” and “sanctity” of a family. It is a nightmare for a brother, sister, father, wife, mother, daughter and son alike if there is a at will “sex” policy in a family. It sounds more like animals than humans irrespective of the religion.
