The questioner can refer to fatwas numbered: 31928, 33482, 39217. It is obligatory to think well of Muslim youth, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin." One can also read the chapter on Punishments (Hudood) from Fiqh As- (Volume Two, page 417) regarding sodomy, and consult Islamic libraries and recordings to obtain suitable books and tapes, while being mindful of Allah and striving for His pleasure.
