What does the Quran say regarding same * marriages? The Quran

00:00:05 --> 00:00:09

doesn't speak about that as a marriage. But everywhere The Quran

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

does speak about marriage, it's man and woman to give a technical

00:00:12 --> 00:00:17

answer. So even in the Hadith as well, there is no validation of

00:00:17 --> 00:00:21

* and same * marriage in Islam. It's haram, the other man

00:00:21 --> 00:00:25

written about it very clearly, that is haram. Now, if somebody

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

feels that they have same *,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

feelings, they may not be punished for that. Because if you can't

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

help it, then you may not be punished for that. But that does

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

not but what Islam does not allow is that you act upon it

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

is people with all sorts of feelings, right? There's people

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

with all sorts of feelings, but you're only allowed to act on

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

certain feelings. That's what Islam is. Right?
