In
a lecture on adultery and fornication available
on
YouTube, Mr. At-thahabi makes the following statements:
• It
is not permissible for the Muslim man to marry the non-Muslim
women
, nor is it permissible for the Muslim woman to marry the non-Muslim man under any circumstances. •
To
marry the Sikh. to marry the Hindu, to marry anyone who is an atheist is not permissible
in
Islam. • But even greater than that
is
the
zina
of
homosexuality and the
zina
of
lesbianism. The prophet said "Kill the one who does it and the
one
who
it's
being done to, Kill the one who
wa
s on top and the
one
who was on the bottom whether it's a
man or
a women.'' and this
is
going to come
inshal ah.
