Homosexuality

· 29 Rajab 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My question is that I am a homosexual man and I know that it will be very hard for me to fulfil my wife's rights if I ever get married. Is marriage still fard on me in such a case. I don't practise any homosexual acts but also so know I will never be able to have sex if I got married.

Answer

You should stay alone and don’t mix up with anybody and live in total isolation. Don’t even look at any young boy or man.

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