❖ Question:

Will a person who assists a zāniyah (fornicating woman) be considered sinful?

✿ Answer:

Undoubtedly, he will be sinful.

✦ Qur’anic Evidence:

وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
📖 Sūrah al-Mā’idah: 2

“And do not assist one another in sin and transgression.”

✅ Summary:

➤ Assisting in sin—whether directly or indirectly—is prohibited in Islam.
➤ One who supports or facilitates fornication (zinā) or any sinful act is clearly sinful, as per the explicit command of the Qur’ān.
➤ Such cooperation falls under the category of collaboration in evil, which is strictly forbidden.
