Ayah: 32

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةٗ وَسَآءَ سَبِيلٗا

32. Do not approach adultery18. Indeed, it is an indecency and an evil way.

18. We must avoid all forms of uncleanness, in thought, word and deed, alone and with other humans and creatures, both in and outside of wedlock. Fornication, adultery and homosexuality are all major sins. We should aviod also anything leading to such immoral behaviour including mixed gathering of unrelated men and women in closed places, alluring gestures and coquettish glances, music and dancing of opposite sex, as well as lewd pictures, and consumption of alcohol. In contrast to such filthy living, this verse enjoined chastity, both in and out of marriage. The man that commits adultery with another man’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death by stoning.
