What can I do to develop desire for women and get married, knowing that I still only feel desire for men, even after performing 'Umrah?
Sodomy is a grave and enormous sin, one of the major sins. Due to it, Allah annihilated a nation with a severe punishment, and ordained the penalty of death for both the perpetrator and the one upon whom it was perpetrated. As for masturbation, it is a forbidden habit that entails many corruptions. The reversal of one’s natural disposition (fitra) and the corruption of one’s temperament may be a result of these transgressions, as Allah Almighty says: "Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of people have earned, so that He may let them taste some of what they have done, that they may return." (Ar-Rum:41).
One must hasten to sincere repentance, increase in righteous deeds, and supplicate to Allah, asking for well-being. Marriage and self-struggle are recommended. One may also consult a psychiatrist without detailing what occurred, or contact the consultation section on the website.
