What is the decree on having a sexual intercourse with an animal?

Is it permissible for a woman to have a sexual intercourse with an animal (dog, horse, etc.)?

Dear Brother / Sister,

One of the sexual perversions is having a sexual intercourse with an animal. This ugly deed is haram for both women and men. According to the majority of scholars, a person who commits this deed is punished with tazir penalty. It does not become haram to eat the flesh of that animal because of the intercourse. (Ibn Qudama. al-Mughni, IX/62 ff)

According to Abu Hanifa in Hanafi madhhab, it is permissible to eat the flesh of that animal with which somebody has had a sexual intercourse; according to Abu Yusuf and Muhammad, the flesh of such an animal is not eaten. (Ö. N. Bilmen, Istilâhât-ı Fıkhıyye, III/219)

The imams unanimously agree that the penalty given to such a pervert person is the penalty of tazir that can be increased or decreased based on the assessment of the judge.  

Imam Shafii states that it is necessary to punish this sin like fornication due to the severity of the sin. If the animal that the perverted person has had sexual intercourse with is an animal whose flesh is eaten, it does not become haram due to this deed. However, it will be appropriate if the animal is slaughtered and buried in the field of the perverted person or in a meadow as an exemplary lesson.

It is a fact that everything is not finished and the door of repentance is not closed for the people who commit such major sins by obeying their souls. Their sincere repentance, asking for forgiveness, the tears they will shed and the deep regret they will feel can enable them to be forgiven if they are sincere in their repentance and if they are determined sincerely and believingly not to commit that sin again. Allah will forgive all sins except shirk (polytheism) if people regret sincerely.
