Is a muslim who supports homosexuality allowed in the Masjid?
Question
Is a muslim who supports homosexuality allowed in the Masjid or not because his views could spread and corrupt other people in the masjid
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In order to address such sensitive issues, it is important to consider the temperament and nature of the person.
Therefore, we advise that the Masjid Committee should assess the situation and make Mashwarah (consult one another) on the best course of action when dealing with such a person.
If the issue is dealt with wisdom and with the consultation of an Alim, the person in reference may even change his views.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
