The Most High has said { And do not follow after passions, for they will make you stray from the path of Allah; indeed those who stray from the path of Allah – for them is a severe punishment, in that they have forgotten the day of reckoning } [Sad 26]. Now then, anyone who looks at smooth, beardless boys [al-murd], thinking that he is looking at divine beauty, making this a way to draw near to Allah, as do some parties of those who allege they are knowledgeable – this is disbelief more severe than what the idol-worshippers say, and more severe than the disbelief of the people of Lot [homosexuality]. These people are the worst of heretics and apostates, who must be killed, by unanimous consensus of the ummah.
