Unnatural offences: The Controversy

The unnatural offence is a sin of lust against the order of God. [1] It can be defined as carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal performed through the anus. [2] In the Holy Quran, it is stated that Allah has created man and woman as sexual beings for procreation purposes. On the contrary, the unnatural act such as homosexual sodomy, heterosexual, masturbation and bestiality are examples of no procreative sexual gratification which are in conflict with man’s spiritual destiny.
