1455. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whomever you see having relations with an animal then kill him and kill the animal." So it was said to Ibn 'Abbās: "What is the case of the animal?" He said: "I did not hear anything from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about this, but I see that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ disliked eating its meat or using it, due to the fact that such a (heinous) thing had been done with that animal." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] We do not know of this Hadīth except from the narration of 'Amr bin Abī 'Amr
from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbās, from the Prophet ﷺ. Sufyān Ath-Thawrī reported from 'Āsim, from Abū Razīn, from Ibn 'Abbās who said: "Whoever has relations with a beast, then there is no legal punishment for him." That was narrated to us by Muḥammad bin Bash-shār (who said): "Abdur-Raḥmān bin Mahdī narrated to us, Sufyān Ath-Thawrī narrated to us." This is more correct than the first Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, it is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq.

Commentary
Sexual intercourse with animals is one of the most disgusting acts. Though this is not considered fornication, yet the performer deserves a severe punishment. This punishment should be exemplary and a clear warning to others.
