The unlawfulness of homosexual intercourse is more serious than unlawful heterosexual intercourse, indeed Allah destroyed a nation because of the unlawfulness of homosexual intercourse, but He has not destroyed (a nation) because of unlawful heterosexual intercourse.”’

Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘One who engages in sexual intercourse with a boy, on the Day of Judgment will rise with the filth of such act and water of the world does not clean him,

‘In the case of the people of Lot mentioned in the Quran: “You engage in such indecent acts in which no one of the people of the world before had ever engaged,”’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Iblis (Satan) came to them in the form of a good looking person with femininity, with good looking clothes and he came to their young men

"The Messenger of Allah (sw) said, ‘One who allows sexual intercourse in his anus voluntarily and playfully, Allah throws lust of woman on him.‘"

“Once I mentioned before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), one who allows sexual intercourse in his anus.

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the hermaphrodites who suffer because of this misfortune (sexual intercourse in their anus).
