The Philosophy of Prohibition of Fornication - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief The Philosophy of Prohibition of Fornication 2021-06-19 585 Views Islamic laws , Fornication , Prohibited Acts , Adultery Fornication is an unlawful sexual relationship with the opposite sex before a marriage contract. It is considered one of the great sins in Islam and is prohibited.

Meanwhile, a question that may come to mind is: What is the philosophy of prohibition of fornication in the Quran and the prophetic narrations? Therefore, the present article aims to explain the philosophy of prohibition of fornication. 1.

Fornication leads to the occurrence of turbulence within the familial mechanism and severance of the bond between fathers and children – a bond, whose existence not only occasions social recognition but is also responsible for the support for the child and for laying the foundations of love, which causes this support to continue all throughout the individual’s lifetime.

In short, in a society containing a great number of illegitimate and fatherless children, the social ties, which are governed by familial connections, become highly unstable.

To comprehend the significance of this issue, it is sufficient to ponder for a moment that if fornication were to be declared lawful in the entire human society and the matrimonial system were to be uprooted from it, the nondescript children who would come into the world in such circumstances would not be supported by anyone – neither at the time of their birth nor as they are growing up.

Apart from this, they would be left deprived of the element of love, which plays a decisive role in curbing crime and violence. Consequently, human society would be transformed into a society, totally beastly and replete with violence in every sphere and dimension. 2.

This reprehensible act brings about various kinds of individual and social conflicts; stories about the state of affairs prevailing within localities of disrepute and centres of corruption are illustrative of the reality that horrendous crimes are committed alongside sexual digressions. 3.

Experience has revealed and science has proved that this act is responsible for the dissemination of various diseases, and despite all arrangements made for the purpose of combating its effects; statistics reveal the extent to which people have lost and still lose the soundness of their health by means of it. 4.
