The Ruling on Lesbianism Among Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And regarding that, is there a fixed punishment or effect for lesbianism among women?

Answer:
Lesbianism among women is a major sin among the major sins. Its occurrence and its prevalence are among the signs of the Hour. If it becomes widespread among women, that is a sign of the nearness of the Hour. It is a crime and a major transgression. It is obligatory that the women be subjected to a severe discretionary punishment that prevents them from doing it. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
