    86. From this verse a hint is given that the adulterer should be punished with RAJAM i.c. to be stoned to death.

It should be remembered that in the Hanafi Mazhab there is no restriction stipulated for the punishment of sodomy. The judge can punish him as he deems fit - he can either be destroyed by hanging or by drowning.
