Keeping contact with one's gay son
Question
There is a mother and father who have a gay son that is living with his gay lover and intends on getting married to him. The son is not in the parents care, is financially independent and lives in another city. The parents, brother and sister have spoken to him regarding his actions on countless occasions not to do the sin but he never listens. He intends to continue his relationship and lifestyle.
1 What do the family members do since he is being obstinate?
2 Do the family members have to cut ties with him?
3 Can any cordial relationship occur between the parties?
4 Can the mother conceal the sons true actions from the father?
Answer
It is safer to maintain a distance. Get some jamaat brothers etc. to encourage him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
