Islam classifies zina (unlawful sexual intercourse, including adultery) as a major sin and a violation of one of the five universal protections (maqasid al-shariah) — the protection of lineage and family. The Quran prohibits approaching zina, not just committing it. Islamic law prescribes severe penalties, reflecting the gravity with which the faith treats the destruction of family trust. However, Islam also emphasizes that sincere repentance (tawbah) is always accepted by Allah, and the sinner should not despair of God's mercy.
