Hadith.4988 - Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad narrated from Abd Al-Ṣamad ibn Bashir from Sulayman ibn Hilal who said: One of our companions asked Abu Abdullah , saying: "May I be your ransom, what is the ruling on a man sleeping with another man under one blanket?" Imam asked: "Is he a close relative (mahram)?" The man replied: "No." Imam asked: "Is it due to necessity?" The man said: "No." Imam said: "They are each to be lashed thirty lashes." The man asked: "What if the act was committed?" Imam replied: "If it was less than penetration, then the prescribed punishment (hadd) applies. But if penetration occurred, he is to be made to stand and struck with the sword, and the sword will take from him whatever it takes." The man asked: "So, that is execution?" Imam replied: "That is correct." The man then asked: "And what if a woman sleeps with another woman under one blanket?" Imam asked: "Is she a close relative (mahram)?" The man replied: "No." Imam asked: "Is it due to necessity?" The man replied: "No." Imam said: "They are each to be lashed thirty lashes." The man further asked: "And if they committed the act?" This greatly distressed Imam , and Imam said: "Uff! Uff! Uff!" (three times), then said: "The prescribed punishment (hadd) applies."
