DescriptionThe death penalty for homosexual activity is theoretically justifiable under the Islamic Sharia, which is the main sauce of law in Saudi Arabia.

However, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has stated that the use of the death penalty is now reserved only for those convicted of murder.

Additionally, Ziad Shaalan, a high profile Saudi lawyer, has said that the punishment for homosexuality is 5 years imprisonment and/or a fine.
