The Ruling on One Who Has Intercourse with an Animal

Question : But does that mean we say it is permissible to do this to an animal? Yes?

Answer : No, it is not permissible. Just as if a man commits zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with a woman and penetrates her, we say he must perform ghusl (the full ritual bath) and he must receive the hadd (fixed punishment), so the one who has intercourse with an animal must also have the animal killed. If the animal belongs to him, it is lost to him. If it belongs to someone else, he is liable for its value, and it is not to be eaten. As for him, it is reported in the hadith: Some scholars adopted this view and said that the one who has intercourse with an animal is to be killed, because her private parts are not permissible under any circumstances, resembling the private parts of a male, which is liwat (sodomy), and the hadd for liwat is killing. Other scholars said rather that he is to be given ta'zir (discretionary punishment). Rather, he is to be given ta'zir, and this is more correct: that he is to be given ta'zir and not killed. As for the animal, it is to be killed. Yes.
