214. Transgender

BY Asma Bint Shameem

A transgender is a person who “thinks” that he or she does not belong to the gender that he or she was born with. 

That is totally haraam and a very serious major sin. 

It’s a waswasah from the Shaytaan like all other kinds of Faahishah such as homosexuality, pedophilia, etc. 

It’s a psychological and mental problem that needs treatment.

Those who are transgenders  are cursed by Allaah and His Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam. 

Ibn ‘Abbaas radhi Allaahu anhu said that the Prophet radhi Allaahu anhu  CURSED men who imitate women and women who imitate men, and he said: 
“Throw them out of your houses.” (al-BukhaarI)

Abu Hurayrah radhi Allaahu anhu said: 

“The Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam 

cursed the man who wears women’s clothing and the woman who wears men’s clothing. (Abu Dawood- saheeh by al-Albaani)

‘Aa’ishah radhi Allaahu anhaa said: 

“The Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam 

cursed masculinized women.”

(Abu Dawood - saheeh by al-Albaani)

A person who has these evil thoughts should fight these thoughts, ask Allaah’s protection against the Shaytaan, make lots of duaa, keep busy with the Qur’aan and other good things and seek treatment with Ruqyah as well as therapy. 

Remember only THAT is allowed what Allaah has allowed. 

And what Allaah has made haraam, NOTHING can justify it or make it halaal. 

Also these transgenders CANNOT harm us in any way. 

Believing that some thing or person has the power to harm me, is actually superstition and believing in BAD OMENS. And that’s forbidden. 

Just because someone ‘curses’ and uses bad language does not mean it will come true. 

In fact, it’s quite the opposite. 

The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:

“Verily, when a servant curses something, the curse rises to the heaven and the gates of heaven close upon it. 

It turns right and left and if it does not find a place to go, it will return to that which was cursed only if it deserved to be curse; *otherwise the curse will return upon the one who made it.”*

(Abu Dawood- Hasan by al-Albaani )

And Ali ibn Abi Talib radhi Allaahu anhu said:

‏“Those who curse others are themselves cursed.” (Al-Adab Al-
Mufrad- hasan)

May Allaah protect us and our families from all Faahishah. 

Ameen. 

And Allaah knows best
