I thought that homosexuality being common in animals was a somewhat good argument against people who say it's unnatural or disgusting. I was wondering what could be said in response to this man's opinion.
Assalamualaikum. I am a lesbian (21) and have been in a relationship with my girlfriend since we were 13/14. We never ever thought of having a physical relationship but we did hug and sometimes she would kiss my cheek. We are currently doing long distance because of college. We have never lived together but we do want to.
I truly love this girl from the bottom of my heart. She makes me a better person and I do truly believe we were made for each other, Allah knows best. I want a life with her even if it means that my family won't ever know that she means more to me than just my best friend.
But the last time she visited, we got a bit physical with our affection and it's making me feel really guilty. Of course we WOULDN'T do any downstairs stuff. But doing research on zina and what counts as immoral conduct, it seems like we would have to get married.
All this time, I had been convincing myself that I would just love my girlfriend but never have a physical relationship. I mean both of us don't plan to do anything with our genitals because we don't even know if same-sex marriage is even a valid thing.
Yet I want to be intimate with her even though we won't be having textbook intercourse. And only this subreddit has recommended gay/lesbian people to get married to prevent immoral sexual conduct or zina or fahisha (still kinda confused about those terms)
But how would we even get married? Who would officiate? How will we even get witnesses? Do we need to have family members? None of our families know of our relationship and I doubt they will ever act as our witness. Also, we both are currently residing in the U.S. but in different states for our studies. We both are from Bangladesh and we plan to stay in the U.S. even after our studies.
Any advice is appreciated. I am just feeling a little lost. I don't want to displease my Lord but I do want a solution to my predicament with the woman that I love so much and want to have good times with without feeling guilty. Nearly all my prayers include begging Allah for letting me have an eternity with her even after we pass from this world.
I do believe movies and games are permissible, according to mufti abu layth But I couldn't find anything regarding this distinction. A friend of mine said it's not allowed to derive entertainment from shirk since it is the most disgusting sin in the eyes of Allah. But the movies/games I played did not promote polytheism (e.g. odyssey) and watching them didn't make my faith weak either.
Feel free to link answers to this question by progressive scholars since I couldn't find anything.
Im seeing the "nintendo switch online" written and am too scared to download and see if it works on the switch without bricking it. Has anyone tried this? I just got a modded switch and was looking to play GBA games on it
I have never done anything like this. I lived at the ION since my first semester and am going to graduate May 2027 and my lease ends July 26th 2027. Will it be possible to sublease my apartment for next summer 😭
How did you guys manage to get yours? My rent is 670$ for 5 bed/5 bath....
