النَّهيُ عَنِ الزِّنا Prohibition of Fornication

1ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): اِشتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللّه‏ِ عزّوجلّ عَلَى امرأةٍ ذاتِ بَعلٍ مَلَأتْ عَينَها مِن غَيرِ زَوجِها أو غَيرِ ذِي مَحرَمٍ مِنها ، فإنّها إن فَعَلَتْ ذلكَ أحبَطَ اللّه‏ُ كُلَّ عَمَلٍ عَمِلَتهُ ، فإن أوطَأتْ فِراشَهُ غَيرَهُ كانَ حَقّاً عَلَى‏اللّه‏ِ أن‏يُحرِقَها بِالنارِ بعدَ أن يُعَذِّبَها في قَبرِها.

1– The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Allah's wrath is indeed severe on the married woman who fulfils her desires through any other man apart from her husband or looks lustfully at anyone other than her unmarriageable kin [i.e. husband], upon which Allah thwarts every single good deed she has ever committed. And if she welcomes anyone other than her husband in his bed, Allah will rightfully burn her in the Fire after He has chastised her in her grave.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 76, p. 366, no. 30]
 

2ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ما زَنى غَيُورٌ قَطُّ.

2– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'A man who is possessive [over his own wife] will never commit adultery.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 305]
 

3ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ أشَدَّ الناسِ عَذاباً يَومَ القِيامَةِ رَجُلٌ أقَرَّ نُطفَتَهُ في رَحِمٍ تَحْرُمُ علَيهِ.

3– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'The one to face the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who deposited his sperm in a womb that was forbidden to him.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 79, p. 26, no. 28]
 

4ـ الإمامُ الرِّضا (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): حُرِّمَ الزِّنا لِما فيهِ مِنَ الفَسادِ مِن قَتلِ الأنفُسِ ، وذَهابِ الأنسابِ ، وتَركِ التَّربيَةِ للأطفالِ ، وفَسادِ المَوارِيثِ ، وما أشبَهَ ذلكَ مِن وُجُوهِ الفَسادِ .

4– Imam al-Rida (AS) said, 'Fornication has been prohibited due to the corruption it engenders, from murder to illegitimacy to ill-breeding of children to broken lineages and all sorts of other social ills.’[Bihar al-Anwar, p. 24, no. 19]
