The Repugnancy of Al-Liwat

Question :

What is the ruling on Al-Liwat in the religion? Is it true that the Throne of the Most Beneficent shakes because of that? I request that your Eminence respond to this question with a complete answer and reliable evidences for me and for others; and may Allah reward you with every goodness.

Answer:

Al-Liwat is sex between two males, and the commission of shameful sexual acts in the man's anus. Included in its meaning is the act of sex in a woman's anus.

It is the sin which was committed by the people of Lut, peace be upon him, as Allah, Most High says:
"Go you in unto the males of the 'Alamin (mankind)."

He punished them for that, and turned their homes upside- down, and sent stones from the heaven upon them; He, Most High says:
"Do you practise your lusts on men instead of women?"

Therefore, it is fitting that anyone who does as they do should be punished in the same way. Some of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, ruled that the one who does it should be burned. Some of them said that rather, he should be thrown from the highest point (mountain, tower, building etc.) then be stoned.

Hadiths have been reported about it, such as the saying of the Prophet ﷺ :
"Whoever you find committing the acts of the people of Lut, kill the doer and the one whom he does it to "

Perhaps the reader would like to refer to Al-Jawab Al-Kafi by Ibn Al-Qayyim, for he has mentioned in it along with the many proofs of the repugnancy of this crime And Allah knows best.
