Hadith 5.2

Prescribed Punishments

ENGLISH

Ibn ‘Abbas reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying, “When a man calls another a Jew give him twenty lashes, when he calls someone a <i>mukhannath</i>* give him twenty lashes, and kill anyone who has intercourse with a woman who is within the prohibited degress.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a <i>gharib</i> tradition. *<i> Mukhannaths</i> were sexually abnormal men who imitated women. Some of them were signets.

ARABIC

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:

إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ: يَا يَهُودِيُّ فَاضْرِبُوهُ عِشْرِينَ وَإِذَا قَالَ: يَا مُخَنَّثُ فَاضْرِبُوهُ عِشْرِينَ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ عَلَى ذَاتِ مَحْرَمٍ فَاقْتُلُوهُ
