Homosexuality is a delicate and controversial subject prevalent in today's society especially when in reference to religion. You may be wondering about the Islamic position on homosexuality. Islam considers same-sex marriages to be invalid, therefore homosexual activity is extra-marital and Islam forbids all sexual activity outside of marriage. Therefore, homosexual acts are considered to be sinful. More specifically, Islam forbids "lewdness" between men and between women, as well as between men and women who are not married to each other (Holy Qur'an, 4:16-17).
In addition, numerous hadith of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) condemns male-male sodomy (both the insertor and the insertee) as being hateful in the sight of God and punishable by death. This position against homosexuality supports the Islamic teaching of chastity and of the sanctity of sex within marriage. In general, it is consistent with a Muslim's goal of seeking spiritual development in this life and leaving aside those things which attract the lower side of human nature.
