17 Al-Isra(الإسراء), Ayah 32

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنَا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَاءَ سَبِيلًا

Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils). ⁽³²⁾

Tafsir

Literally ‘do not go near adultery.’ One of the evils, which God wants to root out completely, is adultery, or zina. That is what God says: ‘Do not go near adultery.’ That is, adultery is such a great evil and is proof of such shamelessness, that man should abstain even from its initial stages. Here, only a basic command has been given on this subject. Detailed orders have been given in chapter 24.
