Sin is aggravated by breaking those bonds and relationships on which the peace and tranquillity of social order rest. These bonds include the relationship between a man and his Lord as well as that between a man and his fellow-beings. The more important a bond is the greater is the harm done to the peace of human society when that bond is broken. Likewise the stronger the expectation that the sanctity of a certain bond will be honoured the greater is the sin incurred through its desecration. Let us take the case of unlawful sexual intercourse in its various degrees. This act is inimical to the existence of a sound social order and is therefore a major sin. But in certain cases the sin becomes even graver. For instance it is more serious if committed by a married person than by one who is unmarried. Similarly unlawful sexual intercourse with a married woman is graver than with an unmarried woman. Again to commit this act with one's neighbours is more heinous than with others and to commit this act with women within the prohibited degrees such as one's sister daughter or mother is far more abominable than with others. Further still it is a much graver sin to commit such an act in places of worship than elsewhere. The difference in the degree of such sinfulness is based on the considerations we have mentioned above. Wherever the sanctity of a relationship is normally respected wherever there is a bond which deserves to be held sacred and wherever the disruption of a particular relationship is likely to result in greater harm and corruption the gravity of the sin increases. This is why in certain places the Quran uses the term fujur to denote sin.
