indeed adultery includes the permissibility of women the corruption of offspring and the separation of spouses which allah has made so great that it is not easy for a rational person or one with the slightest morals. if it were not for the place of this element in man and that he is not guaranteed to prevail allah would not have made it easy for virgins and made it difficult for married people. this is according to us and in all the ancient laws that were revealed from allah the almighty a permanent ruling that has not been abrogated or removed. blessed is he who watches over his servants who is not distracted by the greatness of what is in his creation nor is he prevented by the greatness of what is in his worlds from looking at the insignificant things in them. he is as allah the almighty said {the everliving the selfsustaining. drowsiness does not overtake him nor sleep} and he said {he knows what enters into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein} and he said {the knower of the unseen. not an atoms weight in the heavens or on the earth escapes him} .
وإن في الزنا من إباحة الحريم، وإفساد النسل، والتفريق بين الأزواج الذي عظم الله أمره، ما لا يهون على ذي عقل أو من له أقل خلاق. ولولا مكان هذا العنصر من الإنسان وانه غير مأمون الغلبة لما خفف الله عن البكرين وشدد على المحصنين. وهذا عندنا وفي جميع الشرائع القديمة النازلة من عند الله عز وجل حكما باقيا لم ينسخ ولا أزيل، فتبارك الناظر لعباده الذي لم يشغله عظيم ما في خلقه ولا يحيف قدرته كبير ما في عوالمه عن النظر لحقير ما فيها، فهو كما قال عز وجل {الحي القيوم لا تأخذه سنة ولا نوم} وقال {يعلم ما يلج في الأرض وما يخرج منها وما ينزل من السماء وما يعرج فيها} وقال {عالم الغيب لا يعزب عنه مثقال ذرة في السموات ولا في الأرض} ) .
