Salam. There is a bit of a unique problem related to the scientific origins of homosexuality (الشذوذ).
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9171406/ for example this article discusses that during pregnancy, a woman’s hormones and genes might affect the child’s sexuality to a point where he becomes homosexual.
there is also some “evolution” related evidence such as the gay uncle hypothesis (or kin selection hypothesis) which is an evolutionary theory proposing that homosexual individuals, while not having their own children, increase their own genetic success by investing resources, care, and attention into their siblings’ children (nieces and nephews). By supporting them they pass down indirectly their “gay” genes.
two issues here;
1- if someone is indeed born homosexual due to hormonal effects when they were a fetus, and they have natural inclination to be gay, how does this not contradict the Islamic Fitrah (natural inclination to believe in God and do Islamic behaviors). Many scholars have said that homosexuality is against the Fitrah, however the evidence suggests that one can be born with natural inclination to be gay. How can we reconcile that with the existence of Fitrah?
2- There is a wide consensus that evolution does not contradict Islam (except on humans). Wouldn’t the evolutionary explanations of homosexuality make Islam and evolution not compatible ?
W/Salaam wr wb. I’ll assume that what you presented is true and not a hypothesis or a theory. Not everything from the fitrah is worth keeping (Q.21:37) and for that, we have the revelation. The revelation guides us. The verse says: [Man was created of haste] and this is a part of fitrah. Being impatient is a part of the nature with which are created but we are told by revelation to not act on it. There may be serial killers with an innate desire to do what they do but we don’t make evolutionary excuses for them. For some, casual stealing from grocery shops/supermarkets is natural and part of their nature and they are required to suppress that desire and not act upon it. Men have desires but we are told to act morally and ethically upon them (within divine guidance). Those who suppress such desires or needs will be rewarded by Allah (ﷻ) and may even get higher rewards.
