Sheikh Muyideen Bello, speaks about trending photographs and videos of Islamic clerics who officiated at the housewarming of popular cross-dresser, Bobrisky, among related issues
Some Muslim clerics who officiated or prayed at the recent housewarming of popular cross-dresser, Bobrisky, came under heavy criticisms by members of the public. What is your view on the issue?
Of course, the public members were right. What benefit does Bobrisky derive from being a transgender? What does he intend to gain from it? If he has children of his own, will he be happy for them to toe his path?
Does Islam prohibit cross-dressing and transgender?
Yes, Islam doesn’t accept such; Islam totally prohibits a situation where a man dresses like a woman or a woman dresses like a man; neither does Islam accept transgender. The position of Islam on such issue is that whoever engages in such is regarded as a lunatic, who isn’t in his or her right senses. Islam is clear, it is a complete religion, Islam does not approve of it.
We (men) can’t turn ourselves to women. Will we be able to give birth to children as women do? Is it possible to insert a womb into men? Bobrisky would like to have us believe that he is a woman and he has breasts and buttocks, but are those real breasts and buttocks? Are they not products of surgeries? Can he conceive like a woman and give birth to babies? Islam totally prohibits such.
People who engage in such immoral acts will be punished here on earth and on the day of recompense. Allah, who created, us knew what He was doing when he created us as men and women. He doesn’t approve of such manipulation.
