Question

What is the punishment for homosexuality in Islam?

Answer

If you are not involved in it then don't go near it. You will not need to ask about it thereafter. In short, this crime is worse than zina, so the consequence will also be worse than zina.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
