55. How to Advise a Homosexual Person

First, don't approach them by yourself.
If they come to you asking about homosexuality and LGBTQ issues, then depending upon the situation, act accordingly—whether the person is known to have an ascription to Islam or is from non-Muslims:

1. First, present clearly why homosexuality or LGBTQ is unnatural, which every human agrees upon, and that it is part of the natural fitrah that homosexuality(same gender sexual act) is Haram(forbidden), worse than fornication & adultery. If a person accepts, Alhamdulillah.

2. Second, if a person does not accept or acknowledge, then do not argue with them; rather, threaten them with the Hellfire which Allah created, because this type of person does not accept, regardless of what you present, even though homosexuality is unnatural and self-evident that it is worse sin and does not need to be proven to anyone.

3. In the beginning, if you think you cannot handle them, then ignore them, because it is something well-known(maroof) in human nature by default that homosexuality is unnatural, haram, and a worse sin than fornication and adultery.

Just like we completely ignore those extreme Sufis and Shias such as Barelvi-Sufis, Naqshbandi Sufis, Tijani Sufis, and Rafidah Shias when it comes to proving or asking for help, assistance, dua, intercession, healing, protection, or refuge from anyone in the grave—whether they are prophets, messengers, awliya of Allah, or general Muslims and non-Muslims—whether in front of their gravesite or far from it. This is major shirk-kufr with Allah, which is well-known (ma‘roof) in Islam and unnatural, going against the fitrah (natural disposition), even if someone claims that they believe Allah gave them power and ability in the grave and that they acknowledge Allah as the ultimate provider, helper, sustainer, and owner of all harm and benefit. They say, “We do not worship them, we do not worship idols; we are just taking them as wasilah (means) and intercessors between us and Allah,” but this is the exact same belief of the kuffar of Quraysh at the time of the last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is completely against the fitrah, and there is no way we can accept that anything can be requested from those in the grave—regardless of who they are, whether prophets, messengers, awliya of Allah, general Muslims, or non-Muslims. The basics of Islam also negate such major shirk-kufr with Allah.

Fitra Can Be Changed

The Last Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Every child is born upon fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian.”
 (Sahih al-Bukhari, 1358; Sahih Muslim, 2658)

This hadith clearly shows that every human is born upon a pure and natural disposition (fitrah), but external influences can change and corrupt it over time.

In relation to homosexuality, environmental factors, psychological disorders, and constant exposure to homosexuality through movies, web series, TV shows, films across the globe, and social media can corrupt a person’s natural fitrah. Repeated exposure and normalization can influence the mind and behavior, leading a person away from their original natural state. So yes, fitrah can be corrupted.

Likewise, the same applies to Barelvi-Sufis, Tijani Sufis, Naqshbandi Sufis, and Rafidah Shias, or anyone who invokes those in the grave—whether from near or far. Such beliefs and practices are learned and influenced over time through the environment, upbringing, and teachings, which can corrupt the natural fitrah that Allah has placed within a person.

Wallahi (I swear to Allah), I have asked Barelvi-Sufi (extreme Sufi sect) kids regarding invoking anyone in the grave for needs, help, du‘ā, intercession, healing, miracle(Karamaat) and protection, and they answered, “No, we can’t request these things, and how can we request when they are in the grave, which is the unseen life of Barzakh?” My specific question was: “Your grandmother used to give you things when you asked for toys, sweets, food, etc., but now she is in the grave. Can you ask her for the same things by going in front of her grave?” And the little kid answered, “No, how can she give me anything when she is not here?” - This is called Fitra which is not corrupted.

#56. How to Advise a Homosexual Muslim

In the above section, I discussed how to respond when an LGBTQ+ supporter asks questions or confronts you. This section focuses on advising homosexual individuals, whether Muslim or non-Muslim by you approaching them instead of they coming to you.

It is very difficult to expect such a person to sincerely repent from this sinful act, because engaging in homosexual behavior can deeply corrupt a person’s character. In such cases, we can only hope that Allah guides them back to the straight path.

I would recommend not approaching homosexual individuals directly, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, with the intention of advising them.

• If a Muslim commits homosexual acts in private but still believes that Islam forbids it, then such a person remains a Muslim, though their Imaan (faith) is weak.
• However, if a person rejects Islamic teachings on this matter or enters into a same-gender marriage, then such a person becomes a disbeliever (kafir) and a mushrik without any doubt.
