Quora Answer: Can I Convert to Islam if I am Homosexual?
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The following is my answer to a Quora question: “I want to convert to Islam but I am homosexual, what shall I do?”
You are conflating
theological preference for sexual orientation. I would assume that your concern is the
proscription of homosexuality, or even threats to your life. The former is an issue of jurisprudence and it
is nuanced and complicated. There are
even LGBT Muslim communities because Islam is a world religion, covering a
multitude of sects, schools and philosophies. I suggest you do some study, and find
something that is more to your flavour. We
are not a monolithic bloc.
