A: Both have been given similar name. However, the crime of intercourse is even greater.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

لكل ابن آدم حظه من الزنا، فزنا العينين النظر، وزنا اللسان المنطق، والأذنان زناهما الاستماع، واليدان تزنيان، فزناهما البطش، والرجلان تزنيان، فزناهما المشي، والفم يزني فزناه القبل. “د عن أبي هريرة” (كنز العمال # 13048)
