Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Regarding His saying,
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:7]
, he asks: Is the one who commits a major sin considered a fasiq (open sinner)? And does the secret habit fall under this category?

Answer:
Yes, it falls under His saying
But whoever seeks beyond thatفَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:7]
, meaning other than marriage and ownership of a right hand. Allah has not permitted sexual intercourse except through one of these two causes: either the contract of marriage or ownership of a right hand. So the one who has intercourse by other means is a transgressor; those are the ones who transgress. Yes.
