What is the ruling on retribution against those who committed sodomy in their youth, and will their repentance be accepted despite not being forgiven and the desire for vengeance against them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The summary of the answer is in three points:
1. Take it easy on yourself; what you imagine about your appearance and health are delusions and satanic traps, the cure for which is to ignore them. 2. Conceal your secret and do not tell anyone about it. 3. Do not retaliate against them by killing, nor retaliate against their children for what they did to you, for this is injustice and obscenity. And the repentance of a servant is accepted with its conditions.
