The fact that women don’t have to cover from their Mahram is a clear indication that normal people do not have any sexual feeling towards family members. The Quran talks in detail about who women should and shouldn’t have to cover from.
Can you say that in the case of adultery which is easy for both men and women to fall into if they don’t observe ways to stop freemixing? Of course not.
Silly point indeed.
Alhamdulillah, you have fell into my trap, well its not a trap, its more of a misconception.
Here you have failed on 2 points, but I am going to assume that your first assumption is correct, that being we can say something is bad based on the fitra.
Now, we know that, a man who commits incest is worse than with a strange women for the points you mentioned above.
now lets use the same fitra argument for men.
Now first of all I would argue its harder for men not to do adultery than women, due to their much higher sex drive, their much higher sexual needs, hypersexualised visual environment for men, the fact when women have their time of the month, when women are on medication or pregnant or the like, they cannot always satisfy their man, in fact in general, we see that most men would like more sex in their marriage in general compared to women, so it is clear not all men are being satisfied.
But lets disregard that entire point about men, even though it is a fact, lets just say for the sake of argument, its equal difficulty for both men and women.
Well, because of the points I posted earlier, we know, that it is more reprehensible in a womens fitra, to have sex with another man while she is married than for a man to have sex with another women while she is married.
I will quickly some up the points again since I am a nice guy
1. Unhygienic and disgusting for multiple men to be mixing their fluids in one women, no man on earth would want this, as opposed to women, a man can clean himself easily, women on the fitra are more open to men having multiple women, and a man being with multiple women isn't reprehensible, it is actually natural, and Allah allowed it in the Quran, nor it is uncleanly
2.Men have much more gheerah for a women than opposite way round, when another man looks at his wife he feels way more anger than a women would for her husband if another women looked at him, men have so much gheerah, they don't want any man o ever look at their wife, or them even be in the public engaging with men, whereas with men, women don't mind as much, as men are usually outside, being leaders, in the public. So when a women cheats on her husband, this destroys him inside, due to his intense gheerah in his heart, she also harms all her other male family members. this is not the same for women in anyway at all,look at all of history
3.The mixing of nisaab, is an Islamic principle, mixing nisaab and not giving rights of the child and cutting family ties and spending money on a child who isnt yours and not giving proper inheritance is thulm, and disgusting, and a major sin, if a women just did this by cheating on her husband, it would be sufficient to say the women committed a much worse sin
go back to my other 8 points on my first reply to you if you want to see more reasons, which are all valid, Islamic, and based on fitra
So why were they mentioned in terms of having the same punishment? Why would Allah specifically tell us they should be punished the same if one is worse than the other?
Because hadd punishments, as I mentioned before, do not deal with severity of the sin
If I do zina at 80 years old, and at 20 years old, I will have the SAME HADD punishment
Salmān al-Fārisi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three (types of people) to whom Allah will not speak (on the Day of Judgment), nor will He purify, and they will incur a painful punishment: an aged person who commits fornication, a poor person who is arrogant, and a man who has made (swearing by) Allah as his goods; as he does not buy or sell without swearing by Allah.”
Sahih/Authentic. - [At-Tabaraani]
But here we can see the old person is more hated in the sight of Allah
They are mentioned clearly and we are told that they are for each other. If the gender is clearly mentioned and we know that both will be punished why are we not told that the punishment for women will be worse?
Because its not important to mention
we aren't told the punishment of 100s of things in the Quran
there is no mention of punishment for lesbianism, watching pr0n, pedophilia, incest, we aren't told punishment for any of those things, because it isn't necessary, the fact they will all be punished and go hell is a sufficient enough reason to abstain from them
all types of zina are referred to in the Quran when speaking of zina, Allah does not go into detail of the different categories or punishments, as that is not needed.
25:68
وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلَّتِى حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًۭا ٦٨
˹They are˺ those who do not invoke any other god besides Allah, nor take a ˹human˺ life—made sacred by Allah—except with ˹legal˺ right, nor commit fornication. And whoever does ˹any of˺ this will face the penalty.
25:69
يُضَـٰعَفْ لَهُ ٱلْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِۦ مُهَانًا ٦٩
Their punishment will be multiplied on the Day of Judgment, and they will remain in it forever, in disgrace.
Here, everyone who commits zina is mentioned as the same punishment, staying in hell forever and double punishment, why because all people who commit zina will have this minimum punishment and share in disgusting sins.
But
all people who commit zina are of different categories
Homosexuals are of the worst
pedophiles are of the worst
beastilaity
incest
but we arent told specifically what different punishments they will get, but we know these are all more severe than just normal zina with a girl, yet they are referred to in the same ayah as having the similar punishment, see in the Quran, 2 people can be described as having a punishment with the same words, but the meaning of this is different, meaning one can be a more severe punishment
my point is, this ayah, described the minmum punishment for zina, a person who does more extreme forms of zina, will get a more extreme form of this punishment, meaning more pain and longer lasting.
If you want me to go deeper into this topic, I can
I also recommend you read disease and the cure by ibnulQayyim RA to see the severity of different types of sins of the same category
