The Sensual Kiss and the Rein of Hell
It is HarÄm to kiss a young man with passion. Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) quotes the Holy Prophet (S) that he (S) said;
“If a person kisses a young man with passion, on the Day of the Judgement Allah shall tie a rein of fire on his mouth.”
(al-KÄfi)
Imam ar-RiÄa (a.s.) has remarked,
“When a person kisses a young man sensually, the angels of the sky, the angels of the earth, the angels of mercy, and the angels of wrath curse him. And Allah decrees for him a place in Hell. O, what a dreadful place it is!”
(Fiqh al-RiÄa)
The Holy Prophet (S) has said,
“Allah shall punish for a thousand years in Hell, the man who kisses a boy with passion.”
(Mustadrak ul-Wasa’il)
If two just witnesses testify to have seen a man kissing a young man in a sensual way, the wrongdoer could be punished with thirty to ninety lashes as decided by the Qazi. This is the punishment according to Islamic law.
The traditions imply that those who perform such an act should also be punished like the adulterers, that is, a hundred lashes for each of them. However, if two women are involved the Qazi prescribes less than a hundred lashes for them.
