What is the ruling on dealing with companies, programs, and applications that support homosexuals?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Sodomy is a grave and enormous crime, and aiding it or contributing to its spread is forbidden by religious law, based on the words of the Almighty: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." As for dealing with companies and applications that support homosexuality, this depends on the rules of "enjoining good and forbidding evil." If refraining from dealing with them achieves the benefit of deterring these companies and demonstrating disapproval of them, then they must be boycotted, especially if alternatives to their products are available. However, if their products are essential and have no alternative, then it is not obligatory to cease dealing with them, while continuing to disapprove of them through various means. It is imperative to advise one another to boycott due to its material and moral impact on these companies.
