Answered by Ustadha Shazia Ahmad
On homosexuality from The Reliance of the Traveller (p17.0):
In more than one place in the Holy Koran, Allah recounts to us the story of Lots people, and how He destroyed them for their wicked practice. There is consensus among both Muslims and the followers of all other religions that sodomy is an enormity. It is even viler and uglier than adultery.
Allah Most High says:
Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the wives Allah has created for you? But you are a people who transgress. (26:165-66)
The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
On fornication from the Reliance of the Traveller (p12.0):
Allah most High says:
(p12.2) The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said,
Whoever fornicates or drinks wine, Allah takes his faith from him as a man takes a shirt off over his head.
And Allah knows best.
