A minor sin is every act forbidden by Sharee'ah that is not included in the parameters of a major sin. You can consult Al-Zawaajir by 'Allaamah Al-Haythami and Al-Kabaa'ir by 'Allaamah Al-Dhahabi to see a list of major sins. For a definition of Zina (fornication or adultery) and a warning against it, please refer to Fatwas numbered: (34043), (49467), (63075), (63229), and (46532).
