The debate around the issue of homosexuals in Isl m has recently gained momentum
globally. New arguments surfaced which were not discussed previously by the jurists.
Some have argued that homosexuality is genetic and others believe it is caused by a
hormonal imbalance.
Isl m has given Muslims a comprehensive social system in which to operate. It has
reserved explicit judgment on many pertinent issues and allowed research to address
contemporary challenges by means of Ijtih d (personal reasoning). The Islamic
judicial system states unequivocally and unambiguously that it expects from its
followers to respect the judicial process.
This thesis aims to address the most recent arguments by Muslim homosexuals. I will
employ Qiy s (analogical deduction) to assess these latest claims and formulate an
Islamic judgment regarding them. The formulation of this judgment, though, will take
place sketching a legal and historical background of homosexuality in Isl m.
