He—may Allah Most High have mercy on him—was asked:

A woman acts as a procuress, bringing men and women together. She has been beaten and imprisoned, but has resumed her activities, and her neighbours have suffered harm because of her. May the ruler remove her from their midst?

He replied:

Yes. A person in authority, such as the chief of police, may prevent the harm she causes by whatever means he considers conducive to the public interest: by imprisoning her, relocating her away from free women, or taking other measures he considers beneficial. ʿUmar ibn al-Khattāb used to order unmarried men not to live among married people, and married men not to live among unmarried men. The Emigrants likewise did this when they came to Medina during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. They also banished a young man from Medina to Basra, fearing that he would become a source of temptation. It is established in the two Sahīh collections:

“The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, banished effeminate men and ordered their expulsion from homes, lest they corrupt the women.”

A procuress is worse than these men, and Allah will punish her along with her associates.

He was asked:

Regarding “the active and passive partners” in sodomy, once both have reached maturity: What is required of them? What purifies them? And what intention should they form when purifying themselves?
