Imber, “
Zina
in Ottoman Law,” 63. The position was endorsed by some Ḥanafī jurists (e.g., Ibn Nujaym,
al-Baḥr al-rāʾiq,
5:19-20; Shaykhzāde,
Majmaʿ al-anhur,
1:595), but denied by others within the same school (e.g., Ḥaṣkafī
, al-Durr al-mukhtār,
1:595; Ibn ʿĀbidīn,
Munḥat al-khāliq,
5:20).

This is clearly stated in, for example, Ibn Ḥajar al-Haytamī,
Tuḥfat al-muḥtāj,
9:103; Ramlī, Shams al-Dīn,
Nihāyat al-muḥtāj,
7:424; Dardīr,
al-Sharḥ al-ṣaghīr
, 4: 447; Kharāshī,
Sharḥ
, 5:316; Buhūtī,
Kashshāf al-qināʿ,
6:94; Najdī,
Hidāyat al-rāghib,
2:764. The Ḥanafī assumption about the position of other schools may reflect an uncertainty among Shāfiʿī and Mālikī jurists of earlier centuries on whether to apply
ḥadd
in cases of anal intercourse with male slaves; see on this point Schmitt, “
Liwāṭ
im
Fiqh,”
80-86. Schmitt, focusing mainly on earlier juridical texts, suggests that only the Ḥanbalī school was unequivocal in applying
ḥadd
in this case. This is not true of the early Ottoman period.
