    These are questions after ive seen this video: https://youtu.be/Sj_ZgpZJ8fQ?si=SkcSqBWn97Aoej_X

    Q1a — For example, there are two people who do zina. Both repent privately. However one isnt discovered publicly and neither does he confess so he doesnt get the punishment of lashes. The other person is caught and gets the punishment. So how is it fair? Either both who committ this sin should confess and take the punishment as atonement, or if repentance is sufficient for Allah to forgive then neither should be given legal punishment if caught. Please explain.

    Q1b —- if zina is proven, they are subject to punishment of lashes, and then the person cant marry a believer. What if they have repented – do they still dont get to marry a believer? Why not? Also in comparison the person whose zina is not caught and as a result they did not get punishment of lashes , they could marry a believer, just after repentance, either a chaste virgin or someone chaste through repentance like themselves. How is this justice that two people do exact same sin but get different options of marriage partners simply because one was lucky not to get caught?

    If this question is forwarded for live Q&A please send me link of the session, so I can check the answer.

    Sorry these are two questions but they are sort of connected so I didn’t want to create two separate threads.

    The world is not created on the principle of justice. It is a for our test. Complete justice will be delivered on the day of judgment.

    The prescribed punishment of zina is not for an occasional moment but for a habitual one. Zani refors to a habitual adulterer.

    If an adulterer escapes punishment here, he will face it in the hereafter. The one who gets caught will receive his punishment. This is how the law works. Once a man is declared a zani a society must show aversion to him the one who did not come into notice he or she can have his chance. This is how society works. The rest the with God and He compensate and do justice for every individual.
