Classification Of Homosexual Acts As Major Sins In Islam
As-salamu alaikum,
I just want to clarify a view:
If I am not wrong, unlike heterosexual sexual acts where there is a distinction between major and minor sins, in homosexual acts there is no such distinction.
All homosexual activities — from just touching to any sexual act — are explicitly haram and considered major sins, right?The same applies to bestiality and other perverted sexual activities.
They directly fall in the category of “fawaish”.

It is the same for all types of sexual acts. The actual act of illicit sex is the major sin, and all other steps that lead towards it are minor, no matter whether it is with the opposite gender or with the same gender.

Sir please define sex. Does it mean intercourse only?

Yes, of course.

I have a few objections, or rather questions, here:
1)Here, the actual act of illicit sex, meaning vaginal intercourse, is only possible in a heterosexual relationship, which is considered the major sin in this regard. And since this attraction is natural, perhaps God made the other forms of it minor sins.
2)In the case of same-sex acts, how would this logic apply? Firstly, it is considered unnatural. Secondly, there is no room for vaginal intercourse, so there is no “end” of it in that sense. Thirdly, the word “fawahish” includes the whole nature of homosexual acts.
3)As far as I know, the word “fawahish” includes adultery, homosexual acts, bestiality, incest, and all forms of sexual deviation. And in my understanding, all of them are major sins.
So, if illicit intercourse is what makes something a major sin, then should the same not apply in the case of bestiality or other such acts? I mean, those are considered even more disgusting.
4)If you say anal intercourse is the major sin for them, then again that applies only between males. So what about females?
I really think every act of it is a major sin, otherwise even bestiality or incest would also end up having “minor” levels of sin.

Illicit sex is a major sin. Sex obviously includes all kinds of sex.

Okay but
1) Doesn’t the word fawahish include homosexuality, bestiality, incest, and other forms of unnatural sex as a whole category, while in heterosexual matters it refers specifically to zina and not its lesser forms?
As we know, those lesser acts are prohibited in order to prevent one from reaching the actual form of fahishah or zina.
I also think they are termed minor because they are natural inclinations, and therefore God has provided mercy in this regard as a form of warning.
2)How do we define explicit sex between females?
3) Thirdly, if we treat all actions related to other forms of unnatural sex as minor sins except for explicit sexual intercourse, wouldn’t that sound problematic?
For example, sexual activities involving the same gender, animals, or incestuous relations.
Wouldn’t it be problematic to treat those acts as only minor sins when they can pose such a great threat to the family or society, even when no intercourse is involved?

If a case is brought to a judge with required witnesses wouldn’t it need to be checked if it was liwat or no. The sentence is death by stoning. Appreciate your guidance from that perspective. From a perpetrators perspective ofcourse its all major sin.

Please ignore my question. I read up on it and I am clear

The intensity of act can be judged case to case to determine it is actual or equal to actual act and therefore is a major sin or leading to it.
