Summary
Muslims are obliged to study the LGBTQ issue until its reality and worldview are clear, covering language, religion, mental science and health, and other fields. Opinions, arguments and policies should be formed only after understanding, based on the principle that a ruling on a matter rests on a full conception of it. With sound understanding, harmful cultural effects can be curbed and those tested with a different sexual orientation can be guided. Parents are also advised to educate children in moral values from an early age.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menjadi kewajipan bagi umat Islam untuk mendalami isu tentang LGBTQ (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individual/identities) sehingga jelas hakikat dan pandangan alam tentang perkara ini.
