The answer

Marriage is a legitimate contract between a man and a woman lawful for him. Marriage between a man and a man or a woman and a woman is an abomination and a reprehensible act. The marriage contract is great in the sight of Allah, and it is called a "solemn covenant," and it should not be taken lightly. A same-sex marriage contract, even if it is fictitious, is a disregard for this contract and an affirmation of this false marriage. A fictitious marriage contract for the purpose of obtaining residency or citizenship is not permissible because it involves lying and deception. It is not permissible to enter into such a marriage, neither seriously nor in jest.
