Sodomy (Homosexuality) According to Islam

The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, John Martin, 1832.

This practice is considered a Major Sin:
Allah says in the Quran, “And (remember) Lout (lot) which be said to his people: ‘You commit Al-Fahishad (Sodomy-the worse sin) which none has preceded you in (committing) it in the Alamin (mankind and Jinn).’”

The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is reported to have said, which meaning can be translated as: “Whomever you find practicing Sodomy, then kill the doer and the one who is done to.” [Abu-Dawud]

This Hadith means that if two men were found practicing homosexuality, both of them should be killed.

It is also forbidden for the husband to practice sodomy with his wife. The Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) is reported to have said, which meaning can be translated as: “Allah will not look (on the Day of Judgment) at a man who has practiced sodomy on another man or his wife.” [At-Tirmidhi]

Also, lesbianism is forbidden in Islam and considered a major sin.

Less we forget what Allah did to the people of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim who allowed this practice to be rampant.
