The answer

A person's love for someone of the same sex is a calamity, and committing adultery is a grave indecency. Allah Almighty says: "And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an indecency and is evil as a way." (Quran 17:32) As for contemplating suicide, it is a greater sin, for it is not permissible to kill oneself for any reason. Allah Almighty says: "And do not kill yourselves. Indeed, Allah is ever Merciful to you." (Quran 4:29) The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever kills himself with something will be tormented with it on the Day of Resurrection." We advise repentance, abandoning the thought of suicide, and marriage if possible; otherwise, fasting. As for the claim that dense hair and incomplete puberty prevent marriage, it is incorrect.
