Summary

Description
English: Consensual premarital sex (fornication) and sex outside marriage (adultery) is a crime in Sharia, deserving capital punishment in some cases. Many Muslim nations have legal codes (customary or criminal laws) against such consensual sex, where it is considered a religious crime against god (zina), and these can be tried by sharia courts.

Public lashing of unmarried Muslims, and lethal stoning of married Muslims is the historic, religiously required punishment. While these laws and punishments exist on their law books, these punishments are not used in many Muslim majority countries (prison and other punishments are more common). In some Islamic nations such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan where it is used - the use of public lashing or lethal stoning is inconsistent. In some cases, these punishments have been enforced by the local Muslim community, village elders or family members (as honor killing) without the sanction of the nation's court system.

Its definitely not nationwide criminalization, enforcement by terrorist groups or de facto millitias doesn't count. Only in the legal judiciary of the state itself.
