Are those who watch or read comics, novels, or series about abnormal relationships for entertainment, without acting upon them or being inclined towards them, destined to share the fate of Lot’s wife – upon him be peace?
It is not permissible to view abnormal relations merely for pleasure or curiosity, because it is a means to fall into sodomy, which is an abomination that destroyed the people of Lot. One must block the means that lead to the forbidden and repent from such actions. One should occupy their time with what benefits them in this world and the hereafter, and turn to Allah with supplication, seeking well-being from whispers and steadfastness upon righteousness. Remembering death is commendable in its essence, but one should be cautious lest it become an illness. This act is forbidden, but it does not reach the degree of the betrayal of Lot's wife, peace be upon him.
