I asked Imam (as) about a man and a woman found under one blanket. Imam (as) said: "Flog each of them one hundred lashes, one hundred lashes."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man marries a woman and does not tell his soul to pay her mahr (dower) it is fornication.’”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “In fornication there are five disturbing issues: It destroys the beauty of the face, causes poverty, shortens one’s life, makes the Beneficent angry, and sends one to the hellfire to suffer therein forever.’”

“The spirit of belief is moved away from him as long as he is on her belly and when he comes down the spirit returns.’ The narrator has said that he then asked, ‘What if one intends to commit fornication?’ The Imam said, ‘No, consider, if one intends to steal, will his hand be cut?”’

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the word of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘A prostitute man cannot marry but a prostitute woman or a pagan.’ (24:4) He (the Imam) said, ‘They were well-known prostitute females and males. Today people who are convicted for fornication and punished (by the qualified court) are of the same status. No one must marry them unless it is known that they have repented.’”
