Problems of the Research
Adultery as an offence has been defined as an act which is prohibited by Almighty Allah. The principles and punishment are also outlined under Islamic law. Nowadays, some Muslims do not heed the doctrine of Islamic law, things which are made; they regard it to be harmful to them and what is forbidden by Almighty Allah they make it a thing to do an example of the commission of adultery. Married men and women may leave their marital homes to go out and commit adultery with other people who are not their spouses while others completely erase the notion of marriage from their life. Some people give more attention, love, care and respect to their mistresses than to their wives. These are some of the cases we find in our societies today. Some Muslims do not take the provision of the Holy Qura‟n and the sunnah of the Holy Prophet seriously these days. Despite the injunctions laid down and the gravity of punishment attracted to Zina, the Muslim Ummah to an extent still lives in ignorance in regard to the issue of Zina. Nowadays, a father may acknowledge the child he produces out wedlock to be legitimate, some even to an extent give their legitimate children shares in their estates when they die. Finally, the Muslim Ummah have not shared any concern in creating as Islamic state, because so doing the act of Zina can be curtailed.
Aims and Objectives of the Study
The aims and objectives of this research work are to deal with the concept of Zina in Islamic law and to present to the general public the consequences attached to the offence and it is also hoped that this work will bring to the knowledge of the entire public its menace. By so doing, incidences of Zina will be greatly reduced if not avoided consequently it is hoped that at the end, this research will be useful for generality of the Muslims.
