Both Sunni and Shia Islamic jurisprudence prohibit certain sexual practices, though with varying degrees of severity. All Sunni jurists consider anal sex haram (forbidden) based on hadith, while Twelver Shia jurists view it as makruh (strongly disliked) but permissible with spousal consent. Many scholars cite the Quranic story of Lot as evidence that sodomy is sinful, though others argue Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction resulted from multiple transgressions rather than sodomy alone. Male-male intercourse (liwat) and female-female intercourse (sihaq) are both considered reprehensible, but there's no scholarly consensus on punishment. While the Quran explicitly condemns male-male relations in Lot's story as an "abomination," it doesn't address female-female relations. Hadith literature reinforces prohibitions on male sodomy, and several early caliphs reportedly executed offenders, though medieval jurists couldn't reach consensus on punishments—some prescribed capital punishment while others favored discretionary penalties. There was general agreement that other homosexual acts, particularly those between women, were lesser offenses warranting only discretionary punishment.
