Just some random information & to point out that nobody gets EVERYTHING wrong ALL the time.
As of 2019, the following jurisdictions prescribe the death penalty for homosexuality:
Afghanistan. A new Penal Code enacted in February 2018 explicitly criminalises same-sex sexual conduct. Sources cited by ILGA indicate that there is a "broad consensus amongst scholars that execution was the appropriate punishment if homosexual acts could be proven”.[1] The sharia category of zina (illicit sexual intercourse), which according to some traditional Islamic legal schools may entail the hadd (sharia-prescribed) punishment of stoning, when strict evidential requirements are met. The Hanafi school, prevalent in Afghanistan, does not regard homosexual acts as a hadd crime, although Afghan judges may potentially apply the death penalty for a number of reasons. No known death sentences for homosexuality have been passed since the end of Taliban rule in 2001.[2][3]
Brunei's Sharia Penal Code, implemented in stages since 2014, prescribes death by stoning as punishment for same-sex relations.[4] After international backlash, in May 2019, the Sultan of Brunei explained that a "de facto" moratorium on the execution of the death penalty has been in force in the country for the last two decades.[5] This moratorium could be lifted at any time.
Iran.[6] Homosexual intercourse is declared a capital offense in Iran's Islamic Penal Code, enacted in 1991. Though the grounds for execution in Iran are difficult to track, there is evidence that several people were hanged for homosexual behavior in 2005-2006 and in 2016, in some cases on dubious charges of rape.[7][8]
Mauritania.[6] According to a 1984 law, Muslim men can be stoned for engaging in homosexual sex, though no executions have occurred so far.[9] The country observes a moratorium on the execution of the death penalty since 1987.[10]
Nigeria, where several northern states have adopted sharia-based criminal laws.[11]
Pakistan, where the death penalty for homosexual acts is technically permitted by the law, but not applied in practice.[6]
Qatar, applicable only to Muslims, for extramarital sex regardless of the gender of the participants. There is no evidence that the death penalty has been applied for consensual same-sex relations taking place between adults and in private.[12]
Saudi Arabia, which does not have codified criminal laws.[6] According to the country's interpretation of sharia, a married man who commits sodomy, or a non-Muslim who engages in sodomy with a Muslim, can be stoned to death.[9] There were unconfirmed reports that two cross-dressing Pakistani nationals were killed by Saudi authorities in 2017, which Saudi officials have denied.[6]
Somalia ( Jubaland), where Islamic courts have imposed sharia-based death penalties in some southern regions.[6][9]
Sudan, for a third conviction.[6]
United Arab Emirates: Legal experts disagree on whether the federal law of the United Arab Emirates prescribes the death penalty for consensual gay sex or only for rape.[9] Article 354 of the Federal Penal Code states: "whoever resorts to coercion in sexual intercourse with a female or homosexuality with a male, shall be punished by the death penalty."[13] A recent Amnesty International report claims that there are no instances of death sentences for homosexual acts.[9]
Yemen: If the same-sex activity occurs outside of marriage, the death penalty can be enforced.[14] Oftentimes, death is the resulting penalty due to honor killings and vigilante executions.[15]
