Zina and alcohol
Question
Zina and alcohol which is the most biggest gunnah?
Answer
When both gunaahs are extremely serious and grave and both have the potential to cause one to go to Jahannum, then the sensible thing for one to do is to refrain from these heinous crimes rather than being concerned of which one is more serious. This is like asking which is worse; hard stool or diarrhoea.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
