What is the difference between infanticide and fornication?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no difference between the words "zina" (fornication/adultery) and "sifah" (illicit intercourse) in terms of their indication of indecency; both mean prostitution by a man or a woman. The interpretation of "sifah" as "zina" is mentioned in the words of Allah Almighty: "not engaging in illicit intercourse."
