Imam's position on premarital sex

Post by rcald »

YAM Everyone,

I am a young Ismaili college student and have been wondering about this question for some time.

Does anyone here know anything about the Imam's/Ismaili position on premarital sex.

I feel as though this topic is taboo among Ismailis. As such, it had been a bit difficult to find an answer.

The answer is found in quran[silent quran] and not imam [bolta quran] :)

It is absolutely forbidden in religion.....Allah says: Do not go near adultery, .surely it is an indecency, and an evil way [of fulfilling sexual urge]. (17:32) Fornication and adultery have severely been condemned in the saying of the Prophet and the Imams. In Islam, pre-marital sex is considered an immoral act against the rights of Allah and one's own sexual organs.

Islam goes one step ahead saying if a person is caught doing it then the punishment should be 100 lashes each ....this law still prevails in saudi who king has dozen of wives :)

I dont think anybody would be able to answer this question as most of them are involved in adultery :D

sin or sawaab...you decide ;)

As per my thinking the words used here "Imam" and "Position" are not appropriate it may confuse some readers.
The question should be like this is premarital sex is permitted in Ismaili or not? or
Are current imam made any farmans on premarital sex?
Any way, Shiraz give you correct answer nobody can give you right answer for this one, I am not pretty sure that current Imam made any farman on premarital sex but yes it is prohibited in Quran and ginans, so it depends on your own decision.
