رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَتَى رَجُلاً قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ مُحْصَناً فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْقَتْلُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُحْصَناً فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْحَدُّ" قُلْتُ فَمَا عَلَى اَلْمُؤْتَى بِهِ قَالَ "عَلَيْهِ اَلْقَتْلُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ مُحْصَناً كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرَ مُحْصَنٍ".
In the narration reported by Hammad ibn Uthman from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, he said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who approached another man (committing sodomy). Imam عليه السلام replied: "If the perpetrator was married (muhṣan), then his punishment is execution, and if he was not married, then the legal punishment (hadd) applies to him." I then asked: "What about the one who was approached?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "He must be executed in all cases, whether he was married or unmarried."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ هِشَامٍ وَ حَفْصِ بْنِ اَلْبَخْتَرِيِّ: أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ نِسْوَةٌ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَسَأَلَتْهُ اِمْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ عَنِ اَلسَّحْقِ فَقَالَ "حَدُّهَا حَدُّ اَلزَّانِي" فَقَالَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ مَا ذَكَرَ اَللَّهُ ذَلِكَ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ "بَلَى" فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ "هُنَّ أَصْحَابُ اَلرَّسِّ ".
In the narration of Hisham and Hafṣ ibn Al-Bukhturi, it is reported that a group of women entered upon Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, and one of the women asked him about lesbianism (Al-sahaq). Imam عليه السلام replied: "Its punishment is the same as that of the adulterer (Al-zani)." A woman then said: "But Allah سبحانه وتعالى has not mentioned that in the Qur'an." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Indeed, He سبحانه وتعالى has." She asked: "Where is it mentioned?" Imam عليه السلام said: "They are the people of Al-Rass (Ashab Al-Rass)."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لَوْ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ مَرَّتَيْنِ لَرُجِمَ اَللُّوطِيُّ".
In the narration of Al-Sakuni from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, it is reported that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "If it were appropriate for anyone to be stoned twice, it would be the one who commits sodomy (Al-Luti)."

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ اَلْبَجَلِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ قَالَ: "لاَ يَنْبَغِي لاِمْرَأَتَيْنِ أَنْ تَنَامَا فِي لِحَافٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلاَّ وَ بَيْنَهُمَا حَاجِزٌ فَإِنْ فَعَلَتَا نُهِيَتَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ وَجَدُوهُمَا بَعْدَ اَلنَّهْيِ فِي لِحَافٍ وَاحِدٍ جُلِدَتَا كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا حَدّاً حَدّاً وَ إِنْ وُجِدَتَا اَلثَّالِثَةَ فِي لِحَافٍ حُدَّتَا فَإِنْ وُجِدَتَا اَلرَّابِعَةَ فِي لِحَافٍ قُتِلَتَا وَ إِذَا أَتَى اَلرَّجُلُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ فَاحْتَمَلَتْ مَاءَهُ فَسَاحَقَتْ بِهِ جَارِيَتَهُ فَحَمَلَتْ رُجِمَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ جُلِدَتِ اَلْجَارِيَةُ وَ أُلْحِقَ اَلْوَلَدُ بِأَبِيهِ".
Abd Al-Rahman ibn Abi Hashim Al-Bajali narrated from Abu Khadijah: "It is not appropriate for two women to sleep under the same blanket unless there is a barrier between them. If they do so, they should be prohibited from it, and if they are found again after being warned in the same blanket, each of them should be lashed the prescribed punishment. If they are found a third time under the same blanket, they should be punished with the prescribed punishment, If they are found a fourth time under the same blanket, they should be executed. And if a man approaches his wife and she carries his semen and uses it to commit lesbian acts with her maid, resulting in pregnancy, the wife should be stoned, the maid should be lashed, and the child should be attributed to the father."
