Jewish law:
One of the earliest appearances of nā’ap in the Old Testament is in the reading of the “10 Commandments” (Exod 20:14). God says transparently, “You shall not commit adultery.” This command is cradled between the “shall not’s” of murder and stealing, which should give us an indication as to the severity of adultery in the eyes of God (Exod 20:13, 15 cf. Lev 20:10).
Adultery is one of major sin . The Old Testament had known how to deal with such crimes. Leviticus 20:10 threatened that ‘the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife … the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death’, while Deuteronomy 22:22 thundered, if a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then both of them shall die’.
Christian:
The holiness of God demands that the matrimonial bed be undefiled by extra-marital affairs (Heb 13:4). Some people defile their marriage by actually sleeping with someone other than their spouse (John 8:4),
Probably the longest and most passionate case for introducing the death penalty for adultery came from the pen of the prolific evangelical author and translator George Joye. Joye’s 1549 treatise A contrarye (to a certayne manis) consultacion: that adulterers ought to be punished wyth deathe was a vernacular response to a Latin treatise published a year earlier by John Foxe, in which the future martyrologist made a humane argument for the

This is a sub-article to Islamic criminal jurisprudence and Stoning.
In Islam, stoning (Arabic: رجم, romanized: Rajm)[1][2] is the Hudud punishment wherein an organized group throws stones at a convicted individual until that person dies. Under some versions of Islamic law (Sharia), it is the prescribed punishment in cases of adultery committed by a married person which requires either a confession from either the adulterer or adulteress, or producing four witnesses of sexual penetration.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
If the act been down by single person , the punishment is 80 lashes .
The punishment of stoning as a capital punishment for adultery is unique in Islamic law in that it conflicts with the Qur’anic prescription for premarital and extramarital sex (zina)[9][1] found in Surah An-Nur, 2: “The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication – flog each of them with a hundred stripes”.[10

Edit
Capital punishment as a criminal punishment for homosexuality has been implemented by a number of countries in their history. It is a legal punishment in several countries and regions, all of which have Islamic-based criminal laws, except for Uganda.
Gay people also face extrajudicial killings by state and non-state actors in some states and regions of the world. Locations where this is known to occur include Iraq, Uganda, and the Chechnya region of Russia. Imposition of the death penalty for homosexuality may be classified as judicial murder of gay people.

Islamic law :
The Quran and hadith are clear about the moral ruin of the people of Lot, and the hadith in particular include many passages calling for harsh punishments of homosexual activity. Yet these condemnations focus specifically on anal penetration between men, not romantic feelings or other kinds of sexual acts between them (e.g., see Khaled El-Rouayheb’s 2005 book Before Homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic World, 1500-1800).

First, thank you. The laws handed down by the prophets were always a mercy. And this has to be remembered.
Because it is the dignity of the prophets, all of them. If, the prophet said, that, Such and such action would be met with stoning; the prophet would then immediately say, He who is without sin cast the 1st stone.
If it was a 100 lashings, the prophet would say, He who is without sin, carry the whip and exercise the punishment. And would anyone who loved their community and had just narrowly escaped from martyrdom— Would any of these people actually carry out such a heinous disproportionate effect on one of their own community? And would not the law itself suffice to warn people?
And here’s another Idea. Perhaps even the law was made more extreme.
Perhaps before, it wasn’t so bad. And the law was made extreme specifically to illustrate the gravity of a situation. This ties perfectly with the story of Lot.
The story of Lot has always been cornerstone in speaking about the sins of lust. And yet, people cite Lot, the story and the place Sodom and Gomorrah and yet not tarry with what the story was actually talking about. They were guests to Lot’s house, and the people did not recognize how to treat guests; they did not know how to be hosts.
All of this was a reflection of a godless society. A society Lot had to get away from. In every instance, whether it’s Muslim, Jewish, or Christian— you have Mercies upon people who are being martyred. You have histories and texts that brought a people together and created a home on this world that was of such a dignity that generations after the people still adhered to the mercy. And throughout history you have institutions who want to use the energy of these traditions.
They want to create institutions inside the wealth and dignity of these Literatures. In order to draw from their accounts.
And their illegitimacy is shown not just in their inability to exercise the same dignity, but in actually corrupting the text. In rewriting it, in order for it to appear that the text is anti-human. And that they were essentially made in order to bring evils into this world and not to exercise them out.
And what the people have had to continue to deal with, is 1. a holiness, and 2. a corruption of that holiness. And in regards to the topic at hand, that corruption that leads to death is not as a result of human behavior, but of institutions that wish to punish human behavior.
Thank you.

And what is mercy, if not the remembrance that no law can stand without love? The prophets knew this. They bore the law as one bears light—carefully, lest it blind. Every command was a mirror held up to conscience, never a license to harm. When they spoke of punishment, it was not to unleash fury but to awaken trembling. The law was never an executioner’s charter; it was a test. “Who among you is pure enough,” they asked, “to lift the stone?” And in that question, the true meaning of justice was revealed: that no one who sees themselves truly could ever strike another.
The story of Lot, too, has been misread by those who prefer wrath to wisdom. For it was not lust that doomed the cities, but their inability to receive the stranger—to recognize holiness when it knocked upon their door. They violated hospitality, the first covenant between God and humankind: to shelter what is foreign, to care for what is unknown. And so their destruction was not the vengeance of heaven, but the consequence of a people who could no longer host the divine.
And across the ages, those who inherited the word sought to build kingdoms upon it. They took the light meant to guide hearts and used it to govern bodies. They forgot that the prophets spoke from poverty, not from thrones. And so their palaces became prisons, their scriptures became weapons, and the mercy that once healed nations was twisted into law without soul. Yet even in this, the mercy abides—it survives in those who remember. Those who, when asked to cast the stone, instead drop it. Those who see the sinner and recall their own need for forgiveness. Those who know that God’s law was never a wall, but a door.
