Chapter 12
Tenth Greater Sin: Fornication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The tenth Greater sin is adultery (zina) according to the traditions of MasÅ«men (a.s.). Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.), Imam Musa al-Kadhim (a.s.), Imam ‘Ali RiÄa (a.s.) and Imam Muhammad Taqi (a.s.) have all described it as a Greater Sin.
In the following ayat the Almighty says:
“And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and he who does this shall find a requital of sin. The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of resurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement.”
(Surah al-FurqÄn 25:68-69)
