Imam Abu Hanifah was of the view that the punishment for the homosexual should be ls severe than the punishment for the adulterer, and is a punishment to be termed by the judge (ta’zir). Those who favoured the first view, who are the majory of the ummah – and more than one scholar narrated that there was nsens among the Companns on this pot – said that there is no s that brgs worse nsequenc than homosexualy, and they are send only to the evil nsequenc of ku, and they may be worse than the nsequenc of murr, as we shall see below sha Allah.
