The answer

If it is confirmed that the man is a homosexual, then cohabiting with him is not permissible, because it is evil and a tribulation. Your husband must avoid him and separate from him, especially if he is a disbeliever, based on the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "I am free of any Muslim who resides among the polytheists," and also his saying: "Their two fires should not be seen [together]." The Permanent Committee has prohibited residing with a polytheist and showing loyalty to him. However, eating his food is permissible unless there is a legitimate impediment, and similarly, seeking his help in procedures [is permissible], though if it is possible to achieve that with someone else, it is more preferable.
