1. Zina Al-Lamam

The first type of adultery is the adultery of Al-Lamam, which is a heinous act related to the five senses.

Quoting Islam.id, the adultery of Al-Laman is further divided into several parts, namely:

Zina ain is when a person looks at the opposite sex with lust (eye adultery).

Zina qalbi is when thinking or imagining about the opposite sex with feelings of pleasure and happiness (zina of the heart).

Adultery speech (oral) that is when talking about the opposite sex followed by feelings of pleasure (mouth).

Zina of the hand (yadin) which occurs when a person intentionally holds a part of the body of the opposite sex followed by feelings of pleasure, happiness or full of lust (zina of the hand).

Foot adultery is adultery that occurs when a person steps his foot into adultery.

2. Zina Mohsan

Not only that, there are other types of adultery for people who are married and have an affair to have sex. Usually, this type of adultery occurs because of having sex that is not the mahram.

In addition to sinning, this type of adultery also has the potential to cause danger in the form of venereal disease. Therefore, avoid adultery and have sexual relations only with your religiously legitimate partner.

3. Zina Gairu Muhsan

In addition, there are types of adultery that are carried out for someone who is not yet bound in marriage. This is called Zina Gairu Muhsan. Not infrequently, unmarried couples get temptation and high lust. So, they are released and commit adultery.

Allah SWT has mentioned that never sympathize or have mercy on someone who commits adultery. This is part of a grave sin so there is no reason to feel pity or sympathy, not even family. However, those who commit adultery must be severely punished for their actions.

Dangers and Bad Consequences of Zina

Zina turns out to be not only a sin if it is done, but there are dangers that lurk. The following types of dangers due to adultery:

1. Big Sin

As we know, adultery is a major sin that cannot be avoided. This sin that we get can unknowingly damage morals and eliminate the attitude of wara '(keeping ourselves from sinning).

A person who commits adultery with many people, his sin is greater than those who commit adultery with only one person. As for this also applies to those who commit adultery openly, the sin will be even greater.

2. Remove Face Light

Doing adultery can only destroy self-esteem in front of Allah SWT and fellow human beings. Therefore, the danger of adultery can eliminate the 'light' on the face. The shame that is owned makes the face gloomy, dark, and not fresh.

3. Bad View

Allah SWT does not like people who commit adultery. Another danger of this heinous act is to make other people's views bad.

That is, people around will look at us with one eye. Zina emits a foul odor that can be 'inhaled' by people who have a qalbun salim (clean heart) through their mouth or body.

From now on, don't let us fall into the act of adultery that is hated by Allah SWT.

4. Get Social Sanctions If Their Actions Are Known To The Community

The act of adultery will get social sanctions if this act is known to people, which clearly can be one of them will be prosecuted in court if one of the perpetrators or one of the parents does not accept their actions. Usually will get stoning in Islam.
