The Doer and the One Who it is Done too
Question :
Is the Hadith authentic that curses:
"Kill the doer and the one who it is done too."
which refers to homosexuals. I found this Hadith in a book written by Al-Hafiz Shams Ad-Din Ath-Thahabi.
Answer:
There are Hadiths that warn against the sin of Lut's people, such as the curse on the doer and the one who it is done too, and the promise of a severe torment for practicing this sin, such as the Hadiths that order us to kill them. In one narration, the Prophet is reported to have said :
"Kill the doer and the one who it is done too."
However, these Hadiths are disputed. What is confirmed is that the Companions agreed that they should be killed, and enough for us is that Allah punished the people of Lut for this wicked deed, with a most severe punishment, and that is the proof that it is unlawful, and disgusting, both from the view of reason, and the view of instinct. And Allah knows best.
