Film on the problem with same sex marriage
: There is no doubt that
the people of
Lot
committed one of the most abominable acts, which is
homosexuality. Will the repentance offered by one who commits
homosexuality be accepted without the Had (ordained punishment for violating Allah’s Law) fixed for
homosexuality being imposed on him? Is the administering of the Hadd (prescribed for
homosexuality) a condition for sincere repentance? One who commits
homosexuality is
regarded as a Fasiq (someone flagrantly violating Islamic law), does
repentance wipe out such description?
A:
First:
All Muslims unanimously agree that
homosexuality is one of the major sins which Allah (Exalted be He) has forbidden, as Allah states in the Noble Qur'an:
"Go you in unto the males of the ‘Alamîn (mankind),
"And leave those whom Allâh has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!"
This affirms that it is abominable to leave what is lawful to you in
order to commit what is unlawful to you. It was related by
Al-Tirmidhy,
Al-Nasa'y, and
Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (Authentic book of Hadiths) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated:
“Allah will not look at a man who engages in sexual intercourse with a man or a woman through the anus.”
.
Second:
The door to repentance will remain wide open to all sinners including the disbelievers until the sun rises in the west.
As for the
Giving
up the sin, feeling regret for the sin, and resolving not to commit it
again. It is worth mentioning that the establishment of the Had is not a
condition for repentance. This is because Allah (Exalted be He) states:
Say:
“O ‘Ibâdî (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by
committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh:
verily, Allâh forgives all sins.
He also states:
Allâh
accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and
foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they whom Allâh will
forgive and Allâh is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
Third:
A person who commits a sin should hide his sin and never
disclose it. Moreover, he must seek Allah's forgiveness and turn to
Allah with sincere repentance. This is because it was related by
Al-Hakim and
Al-Bayhaqy that the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated:
O
People! The time has come for you to avoid the ugly things which Allah
prohibited. Whoever has had any of these ugly things befall him should
cover them up with the veil of Allah. Whoever reveals to us his wrong
action, we perform what is in the Book of Allah against him.
It was mentioned by
Al-Dhahaby that the fundamental meaning of this
Hadith is also mentioned in the Two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith
(i.e. Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
As
for the legal Had prescribed for such crime or sin, it is up to the
ruler who takes into account the case and the surrounding conditions.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions
the US has attempted to make policy on sympathy for groups.with not insight or a Book of guidance (The Noble Qur'an) they fail and look very primitive in their attempts. when over 14 centuries ago Allah gave the guidance to mankind even about this very issue.
