Description
Summary:In September 2024, Malaysia was jolted by a case of homosexual conduct involving an individual with a religious education background who was charged with same sex acts. Since 2019, at least five reported cases have implicated religiously trained personnel, including teachers in madrasas nationwide. Accordingly, this study explicates the scriptural prohibitions and juridical sanctions for homosexual (liwāṭ) through a fiqh al-ḥadīth analysis and examines the on the ground reality of such misconduct in selected madrasas in Selangor, Malaysia. A mixed-methods design is employed: on the qualitative side, relevant ḥadīth on homosexuality are compiled and subjected to content and thematic analysis; on the quantitative side, a structured questionnaire is administered to 30 respondents comprising current students and alumni from selected madrasas in Selangor. The textual analysis yields five thematic clusters that delineate precipitating factors, prophetic denunciations and worldly sanctions and Nabawī guidance for prevention and response. The survey indicates that homosexual behaviour does occur in these settings, with 73% of respondents acknowledging the presence of such acts. The study concludes that there is a pressing need to develop an intervention model based on fiqh al-ḥadīth to stem the spread of this phenomenon.
