Could you please tell me that why is a homosexuality a sin in islam? I know it’s a great sin but my question is why? I haven't able to find the real reason why? So، if you could can you also tell me that what Allah has says in Quran or in hadith about it. Please let me know as soon as possible.
The Muslim should not doubt, even for an instant, that what
Allaah has prescribed is wise. He should know that there is great wisdom in
what Allaah has commanded and what He has forbidden; it is the straight path
and is the only way in which man can be safe and at peace, protecting his
honour, his mind and his health, in accordance with the natural disposition
(fitrah) with which Allaah has created man.
Some heretics have tried to attack Islam and its rulings;
they have denounced divorce and plural marriage and permitted alcohol. Those
who look at the state of their societies will see the state of misery which
those societies have reached.
When they rejected divorce, murder took its place. When they
rejected plural marriage, men started to take mistresses instead. When they
allowed alcohol, all kinds of shameful and immoral actions became
widespread.
They (gays and lesbians) both go against the natural
disposition (fitrah) which Allaah has created in mankind – and also in
animals – whereby the male is inclined towards the female, and vice versa.
Whoever goes against that goes against the natural disposition of mankind,
the fitrah.
The spread of homosexuality has caused man diseases which
neither the east nor the west can deny exist because of them. Even if the
only result of this perversion was AIDS – which attacks the immune system in
humans – that would be enough.
It also causes the breakup of the family and leads people to
give up their work and study because they are preoccupied with these
perversions.
Since the prohibition has come from his Lord, the Muslim
should not wait until medicine proves that harm befalls the one who does
that which Allaah has forbidden. Rather he must believe firmly that Allaah
only prescribes that which is good for people, and these modern discoveries
should only increase his certainty and confidence in the greatness of
Allaah’s wisdom.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
Both of them – fornication and homosexuality – involve
immorality that goes against the wisdom of Allaah’s creation and
commandment. For homosexuality involves innumerable evil and harms, and the
one to whom it is done would be better off being killed than having this
done to him, because after that he will become so evil and so corrupt that
there can be no hope of his being reformed, and all good is lost for him,
and he will no longer feel any shame before Allaah or before His creation.
The semen of the one who did that to him will act as a poison on his body
and soul. The scholars differed as to whether the one to whom it is done
will ever enter Paradise. There are two opinions which I heard Shaykh
al-Islam (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrate.”
(al-Jawaab al-Kaafi, p. 115).
2. Lesbianism means one woman doing to another something like
that which a man does to a woman. Homosexuality means having intercourse
with males in the back passage. This was the action of the accursed people
of the Prophet of Allaah Loot (peace be upon him). In sharee’ah terminology
it refers to inserting the tip of the penis into the anus of a male.
What is mentioned concerning these actions in the Qur’aan and
Sunnah:
A – Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And (remember) Loot (Lot), when he said to his people: ‘Do
you commit the worst sin such as none preceding you has committed in the
‘Aalameen (mankind and jinn)?
Verily, you practise your lusts on men instead of women.
Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great
sins)’”
[al-A’raaf 7:80-81]
B – “Verily, We sent against them a
violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of
Loot (Lot), them We saved in the last hour of the night”
[al-Qamar 54:34 – interpretation of the meaning]
C – “And (remember) Loot (Lot),
when he said to his people: ‘Do you commit the worst sin such as none
preceding you has committed in the ‘Aalameen (mankind and jinn)?”
[al-A’raaf 7:80 – interpretation of the meaning]
And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And (remember) Loot (Lot), when he said to his people: ‘You
commit Al‑Faahishah (sodomy
the worst sin) which none has preceded you in (committing) it in the
‘Aalameen (mankind and jinn)’”
[al-‘Ankaboot 29:28]
D – “And (remember) Loot (Lot),
We gave him Hukm (right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) and
(religious) knowledge, and We saved him from the town (folk) who practised
Al‑Khabaa’ith (evil, wicked and filthy deeds). Verily, they were a people
given to evil, and were Faasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)”
[al-Anbiya’ 21:74 – interpretation of the meaning]
E – “And (remember) Loot
(Lot)! When he said to his people, ‘Do you commit Al‑Faahishah (evil, great
sin, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, sodomy) while you see (one
another doing evil without any screen)
Do you practise your lusts on men instead of women? Nay, but
you are a people who behave senselessly.’
There was no other answer given by his people except that
they said: ‘Drive out the family of Loot (Lot) from your city. Verily, these
are men who want to be clean and pure!’
So We saved him and his family, except his wife. We destined
her to be of those who remained behind.
And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). So evil was
the rain of those who were warned”
[al-Naml 27:54-58 – interpretation of the meaning]
These verses refer to the punishment that befell the people
of Loot. With regard to the rulings on them:
F – Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning]:
“And the two persons (man and woman) among you who commit
illegal sexual intercourse, hurt them both. And if they repent (promise
Allaah that they will never repeat, i.e. commit illegal sexual intercourse
and other similar sins) and do righteous good deeds, leave them alone.
Surely, Allaah is Ever All-Forgiving (the One Who forgives and accepts
repentance), (and He is) Most Merciful”
[al-Nisa’ 4:16]
Ibn Katheer said:
“The words of Allaah ‘And the two persons (man and woman)
among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, hurt them both’ mean,
those who commit immoral actions, punish them both. Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah
be pleased with him), Sa’eed ibn Jubayr and others said: By condemning them,
shaming them and hitting them with shoes. This was the ruling until Allaah
abrogated it and replaced it with whipping and stoning. ‘Ikrimah, ‘Ata,
al-Hasan and ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Katheer said: This was revealed concerning a
man and woman who commit fornication. Al-Saddi said, it was revealed
concerning young people before they get married. Mujaahid said: it was
revealed concerning two men if they admit it bluntly; a hint is not
sufficient – as if he was referring to homosexuality. And Allaah knows
best.”
(Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/463).
G – It was narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with
him): “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
‘There is nothing I fear for my ummah more than the deed of the people of
Loot.’”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1457; Ibn Maajah, 2563. This
hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on
him) in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 1552).
H – It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “… cursed is the one who
has intercourse with an animal, cursed is the one who does the action of the
people of Loot.”
(Narrated by Ahmad, 1878. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh
by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 5891).
I – It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever you find doing
the deed of the people of Loot, kill the one who does it and the one to whom
it is done.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1456; Abu Dawood, 4462; Ibn Maajah,
2561. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh
al-Jaami’, no. 6589).
And Allaah knows best.
