Hadith.5047 - In the narration reported by Hammad ibn Uthman from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: I asked Imam (as) about a man who approached another man (committing sodomy). Imam (as) 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 (as) replied: "He must be executed in all cases, whether he was married or unmarried."

Hadith.5050 - 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."
