Why Islam Imposes Punishment for Fornication?

     First of all, Allah says: {The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse flog each of them with a hundred lashes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah; and let a party of the believers witness their punishment.}[1] Therefore, if an Islamic government implements this law, it is only doing its duty as a representative of the majority.

What is the Punishment of Stealing a Valuable Thing?

     First of all, Allah says: {As for a male thief or a female thief cut off (from the wrist joint) their hands in recompense for what they committed, as a punishment from Allah.}([1]) Therefore, if an Islamic government implements this law, it is only doing its duty.

     Secondly, no government can afford not to enforce the laws chosen by the majority.
