Hadith 23
The Book on Legal Punishments (Al-Hudud)
Sufyan Ath-Thawri reported from 'Asim, from Abu Razin, from Ibn 'Abbas who said:
"Whoever has relations with beast, then there is no legal punishment for him."
وَقَدْ رَوَى سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَتَى بَهِيمَةً فَلاَ حَدَّ عَلَيْهِ . حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ . وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الأَوَّلِ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ .
