What is the ruling on those who are born with an inclination towards lesbianism, based on recent discoveries?
If these inclinations are merely thoughts and inner monologue without any action, then they are forgiven, provided one strives against them. However, if they involve the practice of lesbianism, then it is Haram by consensus and considered among the major sins. Allah created humans with a sound innate disposition (fitra), and perversion is an acquired trait that emerges later due to environment, human and jinn devils, and the soul that incites evil.
