Fatwa from islamweb.net titled- ‘The people of Paradise are protected from committing Khabaith (vile acts).’
Question: You say that sodomy (homosexuality) is forbidden in Paradise without any established evidence from the Book of Allah (Quran) and the Pure Prophetic Sunnah. However, Paradise is the abode of bliss and eternal happiness, and Allah may bestow upon its inhabitants the gift of sodomy, since nothing has been revealed to contradict this. Allah is Almighty and Generous, so how can you attribute to Allah what you do not know?
And can it not be that some desires are not fulfilled for the people of the lowest rank in Paradise, yet are fulfilled for those above them? And do the martyrs of the Hereafter inherit the highest Paradise? Forgive me for the prolongation, but I am a person who wants to know his religion and gain knowledge. These are some questions that are on my mind. I hope you will not ignore them and will answer with precision. Thank you.
Answer: The people of knowledge have mentioned that the people of Paradise are purified from evil morals. So, what has newly appeared among people, which Satan has made appealing to them, and which is rejected by sound human nature and refined tastes, such as engaging in anal intercourse, will not exist among the people of Paradise. They will be self-sufficient with the means of pleasure that Allah has provided for them.
In Fathul-Qadeer by Kamal ibn Al-Humam (5/263): ” ‘Will sodomy occur in Paradise?’ That is, is it permissible for it to exist there? It has been said that if its prohibition is based on both reason and revelation, it will not occur. However, if its prohibition is based solely on revelation, it is permissible for it to occur. The correct opinion is that it will not occur in Paradise, for Allah, the Exalted, has negated and deemed it reprehensible, saying: ‘{There has not preceded you (the people of Lut) in this (action of homosexuality) anyone from the worlds}’ (Al-A’raf: 80). He also referred to it as ‘evil’ (Khabeethah), saying: ‘{They were performing evil deeds}’ (Al-Anbiya’: 74). Paradise is sanctified from such things.”
In Majma’ Al-Anhaar, a commentary on Multaqa Al-Abhur (1/596): “And in At-Tanwir: Sodomy will not occur in Paradise, according to the correct opinion. This is because the people of Paradise will not have an anus, as they will all be transformed beforehand. This is because there is no need in Paradise to expel waste products (from the body).“
