وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā they do faʿalū immorality fāḥishatan they say qālū We found wajadnā on it ʿalayhā our forefathers ābāanā and Allah wal-lahu (has) ordered us amaranā of it bihā Say qul Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā order yamuru immorality bil-faḥshāi Do you say ataqūlūna about ʿalā Allah l-lahi what mā not lā you know taʿlamūna
And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allāh has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allāh does not order immorality. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?"
