Zina

Question

My question is related to paid sex. I know that doing Zina is not allowed in Islam and the punishment is 100 lashes if one gets caught. But I want know that if I am paying a girl for this job a certain amount of money asked by her only for sex by her will, does it still remain haraam in Islam. Example it will be like buying anything from market. Like we go to the market to buy food or clothes for ourselves. Please note that this is just for my knowledge purpose. I will not be indulging in this kind of activity Insha Allah. Hope to get an answer from you.

Answer

It is a compounded sin. Both ways are most disgusting and shameful and it becomes even more disgusting by paying her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
