فِي الْحُكْمِ فِي الْمُخَنَّثِينَ

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، أَنَّ أَبَا أُسَامَةَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ، عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي يَسَارٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِمُخَنَّثٍ قَدْ خَضَّبَ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا بَالُ هَذَا ؟ فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، يَتَشَبَّهُ بِالنِّسَاءِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَنُفِيَ إِلَى النَّقِيعِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَا نَقْتُلُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي نُهِيتُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ: وَالنَّقِيعُ نَاحِيَةٌ عَنْ الْمَدِينَةِ وَلَيْسَ بِالْبَقِيعِ.

The ruling regarding effeminate men

A hermaphrodite (mukhannath) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He asked: What is the matter with this man? He was told: Messenger of Allah! he affects women's get-up. So he ordered regarding him and he was banished to an-Naqi'. The people said: Messenger of Allah! should we not kill him? He said: I have been prohibited from killing people who pray. Abu Usamah said: Naqi' is a region near Madina and not a Baqi'.
