Punishment of Zina

Dear scholars. As-Salamu `Alaykum. Thank you very much for the wonderful service you provide. I have an urgent question related to the applicability of the legal punishment for adultery in case the adulterer and the adulteress are serious about marriage after their repentance. My question is: Can repentance and true intention for marriage sufficient to drop off the applicability of Hadd in case of Zina? Is there a difference if the issue reaches public authorities or remained a secret?

What is considered Zina? Does penetration constitute it? How about masturbation through a prostitute?

Dear scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. Is oral sex considered zina (fornication or adultery)? Jazakum Allah khayran.

A person has committed zina (fornication) outside of marriage and does not intend to marry the woman. The person considers the action a grave mistake and has repented by asking Allah for forgiveness, resolving never to perform the act again, and feeling remorse for the action. The sin is still concealed and only known to the two involved. Does the person need to be given 100 lashes in order to complete the repentance and gain forgiveness from Allah?

Respected scholars, As-Salamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatuh. What does Islam say about honor killings? Does Islam really have a concept of honor killings, most of the victims here are females; so does Islam really order to kill females in the name of honor?

Assalamu alaikum,I am 29 years old married man. I have a beautiful girl child of 1.5 years old.My problem is that I was sexually abused by my nighbor during my childhood and as a result I am still getting attracted to men. I have had lot of sexual engagements with many men. I am learning qur'an by heart for 6 months now. I am punctual in doing my daily prayers & I fast on every thursday. Even after this I am continuing to have sex with men. I want to stop it now and here and I want to repent to Allah.How can the biggest sin of all get forgiven? I am planning to do Umrah in the coming Ramadan. I heard that doing Umrah n Ramadan is equivalent to a Haj. So will my sins be forgiven?Please pray for me & my family.Jazakallahu Khairan, -TK

Dear scholars, as-Salamu `alaykum. I have heard that the punishment specified for the person who commits adultery is 80 lashes. I would like to ask, from where did you get the punishment of stoning to death. Moreover, if you say that it is based on the Sunnah, I can say that how to depend on Sunnah in this regard. Isn’t it a fact that the Qur’an is the source of legislation for all Muslims? Jazakum Allah khayran.
