Commentary
a. Allāh has appointed a natural channel for satisfying men's sexual urge with
women. It is a channel that would breed offsprings. The anus is not the place for the purpose. It is unnatural to use it the way the inhabitants of Sodom did among whom the Prophet Lut ﷺ was sent as a warner.
b. A Kâhin (fortuneteller) is one who claims to know the future of the people. In our part of the world people practising Nujum (astrology), Ramal (foretelling by figures) and Jafar (art of prediction) all belong to the same category which the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has denounced and warned against.
