Summary
The Quran forbids even approaching zina, describing it as an indecent act and an evil path (Surah al-Isra', verse 32). Exegetes such as al-Maraghi, al-Qaradhawi and Sayyid Qutb list its effects, including confused lineage, killing committed over honour, the disposal of unborn and newborn children, the breakdown of the family institution, and the spread of chronic diseases. A community in which zina becomes widespread is said to head toward collapse.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maksudnya: Dan janganlah kamu menghampiri zina, sesungguhnya zina itu adalah satu perbuatan yang keji dan satu jalan yang jahat (yang membawa kerosakan).
