I went to sleep and I missed this thread. I've woken up for fajr and I'm going back to sleep but before I do, I'm going to address this issue.
@Duchess lol @ you for calling this man 'Shaykh Al-Islam'. It appears as though anyone who supports your views is 'shake Al-Islam'. It does NOT matter how many degrees the man has accumulated, hypocrite scholars have existed since the time of Prophets (AS) of the Bani Israel. This (Yasir Qadhi) is the same man that gets religious advice from Tony Blair LMFAO.
Back to the topic, homosexuality is haraam and will always be haraam. A marriage contract between two people of the same gender is absolutely invalid.
Qur'an (26:165-166) -
"Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing"
Qur'an (4:16) - "If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone" This is the Yusuf Ali translation. The original Arabic does not use the word "men" and simply says "two from among you."
[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]." 15:71.
I can't believe I'm actually giving a serious response to this nonsense. What do you mean marriage POLITICALLY? If you mean Civil marriage and the two parties were forced then that's a different issue.
Allah (SWT) has clearly forbidden homosexuality. Some of the 'progressive' Muslims say 'well he didn't forbid same-sex marriage explicitly?' Marriage between two people of the same gender is NOT valid. Sexual intercourse between two people is clearly forbidden thus marriage between them is forbidden by default. Homosexual acts are heinous as they are against the fitrah, so is same-sex marriage.
So if we use this mans reasoning (which is totally flawed by the way) then what's the point of this 'same-sex marriage' since homosexual acts are clearly forbidden? We know that zina is not limited to a physical, sexual intercourse. We know that looking is a type of Zina, so if these two people of the same gender were married, they can't even LOOK at each other? How ridiculous. M
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6243) and Muslim (2657) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said: “Allaah has decreed for the son of Adam his share of zina which will inevitably catch up with him. The zina of the eye is looking and the zina of the tongue is speaking. The heart wishes and longs and the private part confirms that or denies it.”
Same-sex marriage is clearly forbidden as it's contrary to many aspects of Sharia in of itself nor is such a marriage valid to begin with!
Even if marriage is valid from the perspective of the kuffar, so is drinking alcohol. Does that mean we should consume alcohol?
We are seeing more and more signs that we live in the end of times everyday.
