This book is written with the objective of reasonably addressing
the need of Muslim gays and lesbians for a life which involves
intimacy, affection and companionship within the confines of a
legal contract. Contemporary conservative Muslim leaders
unreasonably promote false marriages with straight spouses, failing
which they prescribe the "solution" of permanent celibacy as a
"test." This book delves into an extensive scholarship on the same
sources that conservative Muslim leaders draw on-the Qur'an, Hadith
and jurisprudence. It is argued that the primary sources of Muslim
knowledge addressed sexual acts between the same gender in the
context of inhospitality, exploitation, coercion and disease, but
not true same-sex unions; past Muslim scholarship is silent on the
issue of sexual orientation and Muslim same-sex unions. The
arguments of contemporary conservative Muslim leaders are
deconstructed and the case for Muslim same-sex unions is made based
on jurisprudential principles and thorough arguments from within
the Muslim tradition.
