Question:I have been assigned to write a paper regarding betrayal, and I have some question thereabout: 1. What is the Islamic definition to the Marriage Betrayal? Does it have general as well as particular explanations? 2. What is the Islamic rule when the spouse betrays the other spouse via online social media programs such as viber? 3. If the wife or husband commits fornication through the phone or online such as via the social media programs, is it regarded as fornication in its real sense and is regarded as a crime of limits (Limits Section/ Fornication Rulings)?

Answer:In the name of Allah, 1. Betrayal has two senses: one is the linguistic sense which means to stop preserving what should be preserved. This sense is also applicable to those who stop preserving their religion as well as when the wife stops obeying her husband in all the matters that she should obey her husband with, even going out of the house without the husband’s permission. The second sense of betrayal is the conventional which means any sexual intention by other than the husband such as speaking, looking and more. Allah is the All Guide. 2. The answer is mentioned within the previous one. Allah is the all Guide. 3. Fornication, in its precise meaning, is to put the man’s penis in the woman’s vagina or anus without legitimate marriage. It is further proved in the religion that fornication can refer to forbidden looking, touching and chatting. However, what is meant here is to show how great this crime is. The rules of fornication are not all included in the Section of Limits/ Fornication Rulings. Allah is the all Guide.
