Muslim lawyer doing work for a gay or lesbian
Question
1. A lesbian woman approaches a Muslim notary to draw up an Antenuptial contract for a civil union with another woman.
2. A person who is openly gay/lesbian approaches a Muslim lawyer to do work for them. The work doesn't have to do with the client being gay/lesbian. It is normal legal work.
In either of these scenarios, is it permissible for the notary/lawyer to do the work?
Answer
1. It is haraam for him to do this. Even entertaining the lesbian is highly deplorable and shameful.
2. We will not ever support this insha Allah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
