17:32

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَـٰحِشَةً وَسَآءَ سَبِيلًا

walā taqrabū l-zinā innahu kāna fāḥishatan wasāa sabīlan

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.

— Saheeh International

And do not go anywhere near adultery: it is an outrage, and an evil path.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Fâhishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin), and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allâh forgives him).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
