I sincerely appreciate your efforts.1. Inherent in your response is the assumption that homosexuality is a learned or acquired behavior and it is not congenital (in-born). Current medical science is contrary to this assertion. Scientists have identified a gene carried by the mother that is responsible for homosexuality. It may be that there are some homosexuals who have adopted this life style by choice but not the majority or at least not the person I am talking about. 2. It seems like you are confused about transvestites (someone who adopts the dress and often the behavior of the opposite sex) and homosexuals (someone who is sexually attracted to members of his or her own sex). I am not talking about transvestites, I am talking about homosexuals. There is difference. 3. All the ayahs you have cited from the Holy Qur\u2019an relate to the days of Prophet Loot where people adopted homosexuality by choice. As you yourself state, \u201cThe above verses of the Qur'an and the fact that people of Loot are called transgressor (26:166) are evidences that it was their choice.\u201d I am not talking about people who make this choice of their own free will. I am talking about people whose sexual behavior is due to a congenital (by birth) condition. 4. You state that the Qur\u2019an condemns the act of homosexuality and yet The Qur\u2019an does not prescribe a punishment for it. For stealing, the Qur\u2019an prescribes a punishment by cutting of the hand and yet there is no prescribed punishment for homosexuality. If congenital homosexuality is an abomination then I would expect a much severe punishment for it compared to stealing. 5. You suggest that homosexuals should seek treatment from an expert. First, homosexuality is not a disease for which one can seek medical advice and treatment. It is a condition that is inherited by the child from the mother. As far as I know there is no medical treatment for homosexuality. 6. You have stated, \u201cAs far as I see, we do not have any specific Ahadith from the Prophet (sws) in which he would advise homosexuals. Looking at the Ahadith, it may be concluded that the Prophet (sws) clearly disapproved recognition of homosexuals in his society where Islam was just being promoted and established\u201d. This statement is contradictory. One the one hand you state that there are no Ahadith from the Prophet (sws) where he has given advice to homosexuals, on the other hand you have cited a few Ahadith. 7. The Ahadiths you refer to relate to people of Prophet Loot. Those people acted by choice whereas congenital homosexuality is not by choice. 8. You state, \u201cIt is up to the judge to decide about a punishment, and please note that a person who (as you said) was born with homosexual behaviour should not be considered for punishment for his tendencies.\u201d I see another contradiction in this statement. 9. \u201cFrom Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet cursed effeminate men and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, \"Turn them out of your houses.\" (Bukhari 7:774).\u201d I don\u2019t think kicking them out of the house is a solution because it does not address the issue. It only moves it out of the house. My conclusions: Based on my thinking and some of the answers provided by you, it seems like the Qur\u2019an does not address congenital homosexuality, even though homosexuals existed all through the ages. Therefore, there is room for Ijtehad on this matter. Until there is a ruling on this matter, I think we need to be kind and tolerant towards such people. My predicament: What should I advise the person in question. Should I say that she being a homosexual cannot accept Islam or should I say that she can become a Muslim even though she is homosexual? Please advise. My predicament begs the question, are there Muslims who are homosexuals? If so, what is our attitude towards them? Thank you again for helping me understand this issue. Hope to hear from you."}
