Fatwa Number : 1583
Classified : Things that doom one to Hell
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

What is the ruling of Sharia on Zina and what is the punishment for the unmarried man who commits this grave sin?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

 

The punishment for Zina (Adultery and extramarital relations) is the same for men and women: 100 lashes for the unmarried to be witnessed by a group of the believers. Definitely, this person has incurred the wrath of Allah; however, he must make repentance immediately, refrain from this grave sin, and seek Allah`s forgiveness. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
