The
repentance of the homosexual
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is there any repentance for the one who commits the sin of
homosexuality?
Response:
The repentance is accepted (as) Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala)
says:
{And
verily, I am indeed forgiving to him who repents, believes
(in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me)
and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant
in doing them (till his death)}, [Soorah TaaHaa,
Aayah 82]
...and
that which is narrated that even if the homosexual was
to bathe in the water of the sea it would not cleanse him
(of this sin), then this hadeeth is
a fabrication and incorrectly attributed to the Prophet
(sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam),
and Allaah is the Most Knowledgeable. Shaykh
