Salaam I have recently found out that my brother in law is Gay and he
has comfirmed this with my wife. Because my wife and myself both work
we usually leave our 1 year son with my brother inlaw. But after
finding out i am not wanting this to be. My wife loves her family and
is blinded on the effect that this could be on our son )directly or
indirectly( I am not one to judge but this is to to do with my son and
his upbringing. My wife will ignore what i am saying just to keep the
peace with her brother. What does islam say on this matter? Thank you
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
Homosexuality is a dangerous disease and a grave major sin, so if it
is proven that that man is homosexual, then it becomes incumbent upon
you to advise him and remind him of Allaah. For more benefit in this
regard, please refer to Fataawa 90562and 88137.
If advice is of no avail to him, then you should desert him if it is
hoped that this is beneficial for him. Also, if you fear that your son
may be harmed by him, then you should find a way so that he does not
stay in seclusion with him in order not to corrupt him, as you are
responsible for him in front of Allaah.
Ibn 'Umarnarrated that the Prophetsaid: "... a man is a guardian of his
family )household( and is responsible for the people under his
guardianship,..." ]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[ Hence, you are not permitted
to be lenient or negligent about your responsibility.
Moreover, if the matter requires that you prevent your wife from work,
then you should do so; because her taking care of her child and
protecting him from harm comes in priority over her work.
Dear brother, you should know that protecting your child from harm
does not contradict your wife keeping her relationship with her
brother. Indeed, you are the protector, the provider and the leader of
the house, so take a decisive action and do not be negligent.
Allaah Knows best.
