Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues: ➊ The death penalty is established for one who marries his stepmother. (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2607) Anyone who marries another mahram woman (for example: sister, daughter, niece, etc.) will be analogically compared to this.
➋ The one who commits sodomy with an animal also deserves the death penalty.
➌ There are several wisdoms in killing the animal:
(a) A lesson for others.
(b) To prevent the spread of indecency, so that if someone sees this animal, no one says that so-and-so committed sodomy with this animal.
(c) To avoid eating the meat of, or riding upon, an animal with which such an act has been committed, etc.
➍ If this animal does not belong to the criminal, then after killing it, its price should be paid to the owner from the criminal’s estate. Wallahu a‘lam.
