The Understanding of the Quran - Zina

[farati]

Hello,

Please, help me with these )

1. What is Zina really? Is it just adultery or is it also rape, homosexuality and fornication? I think it is most likely all of them because then there is a punishment for each - 100 lashes.

2. What is the word ''Fahisha'' mean? I think that it means ''whore'' and not ''lesbianism'' as some think. People (women) of Sodom and Gomorrah practiced it? Plus, the verse 415 talks about it. )

3. What does 416 mean? As I understand, it means both men and women who commit ''fahisha'', in other words women who have sex with lots of men as well as men who have sex with lots of women. Is it 100 lashes then as well?

4. What if a women falsely accuses me of rape. If I never did it, does whe get 80 lashes like if someone accuses a chaste women of adultery.

No punishment if you bore witness that she is a liar. But rape is an entirely different issue that Wakas linked to his opinion on in another thread.

A point worth making is tht nobody is obliged to come up as a witness of zina. It is the person who makes the accusation who has to get by him or herself the witnesses, but nobody is under the obligation of coming up as such.

Thank you. By 80 lashes I mean that any false accusation is punished with 80 lashes if it is about sex. Quran mention falsely accusing chaste women. But maybe it is just an example. As a woman accusing chaste men also gets 80 lashes.
