We advise you to immediately distance yourself from this friend, for he is a bad companion. The steps he is gradually taking with you are clearly forbidden and lead to the crime of sodomy and bad morals. The love between you is haram (forbidden). So, fear Allah and beware of the footsteps of Satan. Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing."
