The dangers faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Muslim societies are rooted in traditional interpretations of Islamic scripture particularly the Qurโanic story of the people of Lot (Qawm Lลซt) and various hadith reports. The Qurโan condemns the actions of Lotโs people using terms like fahisha (grave indecency) and describes their destruction by a rain of stones which many classical scholars interpreted as divine punishment for male-male sexual acts. Although the Qurโan does not outline a specific earthly legal penalty, later Islamic jurists derived harsh punishments from these verses through analogy and supplemented them with hadith, some of which call for execution of those who engage in same-sex acts (e.g., โKill the one who does it and the one to whom it is doneโ โ reported in Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi).
