Punishment To Effeminate Man In Sunan Abi Dawud 4928
An effeminate man (mukhannath) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). He asked: “What is the matter with this man?” He was told: “Messenger of Allah! He imitates the look of women.” So he issued an order regarding him, and he was banished to an-Naqi’. The people said: “Messenger of Allah! Should we not kill him?” He said: “I have been prohibited from killing people who pray.” Abu Usamah said: Naqi’ is a region near Medina and not a Baqi’.
