Haram Family & relations
Islam forbids same-sex acts, as the Quran recounts in the story of the people of Lut (7:80-81, 26:165-166). The ruling concerns the act. A person who struggles with their feelings should be treated with respect and mercy, repentance is open to everyone, and Muslims are not allowed to harm or insult anyone.
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٨٠﴾
Und (Wir sandten) Lut, als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr denn das Abscheuliche begehen, wie es vor euch niemand von den Weltenbewohnern begangen hat?
إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةًۭ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌۭ مُّسْرِفُونَ ﴿٨١﴾
Ihr laßt euch doch wahrlich in Begierde mit den Männern ein anstatt mit den Frauen. Aber nein! Ihr seid maßlose Leute.
أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٦٥﴾
Laßt ihr euch etwa mit Männern unter den Weltenbewohnern ein
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ ﴿١٦٦﴾
und laßt, was euer Herr für euch an Gattinnen erschaffen hat, stehen? Aber nein! Ihr seid Leute, die Übertretungen begehen."
