“As for those of your women who are guilty of immoral conduct, call upon four from among you to bear witness against them. And if four men do bear witness, confine those women to their houses until either death takes them away or Allah opens some way for them. Punish both of those among you who are guilty of this sin, then if they repent and mend their ways, leave them alone. For Allah is ever ready to accept repentance, is All-Compassionate.” (4:15-16)
“And remember when We send Lut (as a Messenger) to his people and he said to them: ‘Do you realise that you practise an indecency of which no other people in the world were guilty of before you? You approach men lustfully in place of women. You are a people who exceed all bounds.’ Their only answer was: ‘Banish them from your town. They are a people who pretend to be pure.’ Then We delivered Lut and his household save his wife who stayed behind; and We let loose a shower (of stones) upon them. Observe, then, the end of the evil-doers.” (7:80-84)
“What, of all creation will you go to (fornicate with) the males, leaving aside those whom Allah has created for you as your mates. Nay, you are a people that has transgressed all limits. They said: ‘O Lut! If you do not desist, you will be one of those expelled (from our towns).’ He said: ‘I am one of those who abhor your practice. My Lord, deliver me and my family from their wicked deeds.’ Then we delivered him and his family except an old woman who was among those that stayed behind. Thereafter, We utterly destroyed the rest, and We sent upon them a rain, an evil rain that fell on those who had been warned.” (26:167-173)
