Bathing After Zina in Islam ~ Hi! Zina is one of the major sins in Islam. The Muslims who do that will get a fatal punishment if they do not repent. Why? The answer is because they already know that Zina is a great sin. In Islam, if Muslims know that an action is a sin but they do it anyway, then they will get a very fatal result. It is all because they have committed the sin knowing that it is a sin. They are considered willful and dare to sin.

In general, there are two things that Muslims who have committed Zina should do if they take a bath after Zina:

• They have to wash all their skin like they do the Janabah bath.
