Adultery and fornication
Question
What is adultery and fornication? Does this include intercourse or anything near to it? Are the curses mentioned for those who do illegal intercourse or anything like that?
Answer
Both have been given similar names. However, the crime of intercourse is even greater.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
