Quran 17:32 · Al-Isra

وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةٗ وَسَآءَ سَبِيلٗا

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

Translation: Sahih International
Maulana’s commentary · Tazkirul Quran

Literally ‘do not go near adultery.’ One of the evils, which God wants to root out completely, is adultery, or zina. That is what God says: ‘Do not go near adultery.’ That is, adultery is such a great evil and is proof of such shamelessness, that man should abstain even from its initial stages. Here, only a basic command has been given on this subject. Detailed orders have been given in chapter 24.
