{{ quote |{{Quran|7|80}}|We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "'''Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds'''. And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" But we saved him and his family, except his wife: she was of those who legged behind. '''And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!'''}} | {{ quote |{{Quran|7|80}}|We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "'''Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?

However, there is a divergence of opinions on the methodology to be used in executing the punishment. '''While some scholars such as Abu bakr [the first Rightly-Guided Caliph] and Ali [Muhammad's son-in-law and the fourth Rightly-Guided Caliph ] were of the view that such a person should be beheaded and set on fire thereafter, Umar [the second Rightly-Guided Caliph] and Uthman [the third Rightly-Guided Caliph] thought the wall should be fell on him. To Ibn Abbas [Muhammad's cousin], he should be taken to the tallest building in the town, thrown upside down while some men stand on the ground waiting to meet him with stone in replication of the destruction done to the people of Lut by Allah'''.}} | However, there is a divergence of opinions on the methodology to be used in executing the punishment.

God ever turns [relenting], to those who repent, and is Merciful, to them. This [verse] is abrogated by the prescribed punishment if adultery is meant [by the lewd act], and similarly if homosexual intercourse is meant, according to al-Shāfi‘ī; but according to him, the person who is the object of the [penetrative] act is not stoned, even if he be married; rather, he is flogged and banished. Judging by the dual person pronoun, it seems more obvious that '''homosexual fornication is meant [by this verse]''', even though the former [sc. al-Shāfi‘ī] was of the opinion that it referred to an adulterer and an adulteress; but this [opinion of his] may be countered by the fact that [the reference to] the two [men] becomes clear on account of the particle min being attached to a masculine pronoun [minkum, ‘of you’], and by the fact that they suffer the same punishment, [both effect the action of] repentance and [are both granted] that they be left alone [thereafter], '''[all of] which applies specifically to men''', given that for women detention is stipulated, as was stated before.}} | |||

Ibn `Abbas and Sa`id bin Jubayr said that this punishment includes cursing, shaming them and beating them with sandals. This was the ruling until Allah abrogated it with flogging or stoning, as we stated. Mujahid said, "'''It was revealed about the case of two men who do it.''' As if he was referring to the actions of the people of Lut, and Allah knows best. }} | |||
