Is it permissible for a man who has committed sodomy to marry the sister of the man he committed sodomy with?
Homosexuality is one of the gravest sins, for which Allah annihilated the people of Lot, punishing them and turning their towns upside down. Several verses in the Holy Quran condemn their actions, such as His saying, the Almighty: (Do you commit such a depravity as no one in the world has ever done before you?), and His saying: (So We turned the towns upside down). The noble of the Prophet contains hadiths that curse the perpetrator of this obscenity and mandate his killing. Nevertheless, it is permissible for the brother of the homosexual to marry the sister of the one on whom the act was committed; for the brother or sister has no relation to the sin of their relatives, and Islamic law does not prohibit this marriage.
