and an evil path."17:32
"The male and female who commit fornication - flog each one of them
with one hundred lashes, and do not let compassion for the two of them
keep you from (complying with) Allah's religion, if you believe in
Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of believers witness their
punishment."[24:2]
The Jurists say that the last verse quoted above is the punishment for
fornicators who have never been married. If a person was ever married
before committing the crime of Zina, he or she is to be punished by
stoning to death. This is established by the practise of the Prophet
sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam. If they are not punished in this world
and die without repentance (by regretting, leaving the sin, and so
forth), they will be punished in the Fire with whips of fire.In a
tradition transmitted by Bukhari, on the authority of Samurah ibn
Jundab (raa), concerning a dream of the Prophet in which the Prophet
accompanied by Jibreel and Mikaail, the Prophet (saws) said: "We went
on and arrived near a pit which was like an oven, out of which we
could hear cries. We glanced into it and saw naked men and women, who
cried out when the flames reached them from below. I asked, "Who are
these, o Jibreel?" He replied: "Males and females who have committed
fornication."
In explaining the meaning of the verse concerning Hell,"It has seven
gates, to each of these gates a class (of sinners) is
assigned."(15:44); `Ataa says: "The most severe of these gates in
terms of heat, pain, sorrow, and stinking air is the gate for the
doers of fornication, who did it (even) after knowing the awfulness of
it."
