ٱلنِّسَاء : ١٦

  • وَٱلَّذَانِ And the two who
  • يَأۡتِيَٰنِهَا commit it
  • مِنكُمۡ among you
  • فَـَٔاذُوهُمَاۖ then punish both of them
  • فَإِن But if
  • تَابَا they repent
  • وَأَصۡلَحَا and correct themselves
  • فَأَعۡرِضُواْ then turn away
  • عَنۡهُمَآۗ from both of them
  • إِنَّ Indeed
  • ٱللَّهَ Allah
  • كَانَ is
  • تَوَّابٗا Oft-forgiving
  • رَّحِيمًا Most-Merciful
And the two1 who commit it [i.e., unlawful sexual intercourse] among you - punish [i.e., dishonor] them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allāh is ever Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.
Footnotes
1 - Scholars differ over whether "the two" refers to two of the same sex (i.e., homosexuals) or those of opposite sexes. In either case, later rulings outlined in the sunnah have replaced this one.
And when two of you (read wa'lladhaani or wa'lladhaanni) men, commit it, that is, a lewd act, adultery or homosexual intercourse, punish them both, with insults and beatings with sandals; but if they repent, of this [lewd act], and make amends, through [good] action, then leave them be, and do not harm them. God ever turns [relenting], to those who repent, and is Merciful, to them. This [verse] is abrogated by the prescribed punishment if adultery is meant [by the lewd act], and similarly if homosexual intercourse is meant, according to al-Shaafi'ee; but according to him, the person who is the object of the [penetrative] act is not stoned, even if he be married; rather, he is flogged and banished. Judging by the dual person pronoun, it seems more obvious that homosexual fornication is meant [by this verse], even though the former [sc. al- Shaafi'ee] was of the opinion that it referred to an adulterer and an adulteress; but this [opinion of his] may be countered by the fact that [the reference to] the two [men] becomes clear on account of the particle min being attached to a masculine pronoun [minkum, 'of you'], and by the fact that they suffer the same punishment, [both effect the action of] repentance and [are both granted] that they be left alone [thereafter], [all of] which applies specifically to men, given that for women detention is stipulated, as was stated before.
