Is it permissible for a homosexual man – who is not sexually or emotionally inclined towards women – to marry out of fear of committing a forbidden act and a desire not to wrong his wife, or should he avoid marriage, or should he surrender to his homosexuality?
Inclination towards young men and aversion to women is a form of trial. One should be patient with it and supplicate for well-being and chastity. Hasten to marry and do not hesitate, for it is the best way to quell desires. There is encouragement for it in the Quran and Sunnah, such as Allah's saying: "And marry the unmarried among you..." (Quran 24:32), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O young people, whoever among you can afford to marry, let him do so..." With marriage and sincere determination, you will find well-being. Be diligent in fasting, for it breaks desires, keep company with the righteous, and avoid temptation.
