Muslim Transgenders - Night 4 - Sayed Jawad Qazwini | 2022 Muharram Program

[@valourboy4u]

For the first time ever a Shia Scholar is discussing to educate the topics considered taboo in our society. It is really commendable of him to have brought up these issues which otherwise are put under carpet. It will surely help a lot of people.

[@haydaralali8133]

Ah yes umar's sunnah of hom-osexuality will help a lot of people

I must say an interesting topic. Happy this has been addressed. As a parent I have found this helpful and it has opened my mind. May Allahswt grant ease for anyone who's battling with this. You could see the difficulty and pain the Syed felt.

brilliant khutba ya sayyedna, the best treatment of this topic I've ever seen from a ja'fari khateeb by far

[@haydaralali8133]

I believe the prophet صلى الله عليه واله و سلم kicking trannies out of medina and cursing them was the best treatment

[@BostonFenian]

@@haydaralali8133 I suggest you actually listen to this khutba in full and think upon what the shaikh is discussing: you seem to be too wrapped up in the "culture wars" of the West and have forgotten the akhlaq and adab of our noble ma'soumeen ('alayhum al-salaam), which both transcend the social squabbles of any given time and place, and simultaneously give guidance on navigating them and Allah SWT knows best

"They can't help it" most sinners can't, trying to look for an eternal paradise in this life rather than the afterlife. It is disgustingly disappointing that people tried to guilt trip by saying they'd commit suicide. Idk how they can be considered decent when they live in sin and threaten to do a sin if u call them out on the sin. What lord are they worshipping? Allah or themselves?

[@ColonelFluffles]

Brother, as someone who has struggled with suicidal thoughts and has escaped suicide twice, I a 100% agree that it's ridiculous to use suicide as a means to get something from people. But it seems you really don't understand how some people genuinely feel inside. It's not that they wanna sin or do it on purpose. You can't really help someone like that. It's like someone who must take in alcohol as a medicine because else he'll die and there are no alternatives. He can't help it, so it is halal for him.

[@haydaralali8133]

@@ColonelFluffles Well, that's my point. Most people don't "aim to sin". They aim to reach a sort of comfort. That's what the first 3 caliphs were doing. They upheld an entire nation too... but what else did they do? Other than the stuff they've during their caliphate, what did they do before? After? The act of them becoming caliphs... what is that?

[@haydaralali8133]

@@ColonelFluffles In terms of the point of alchohol, different matter entirely, mental life and death situations are that of spiritual weakness, one must find themselves... completely different from physical life and death. The whole point of religion is resisting an urge to get whatever you want, no matter the cost, now. Every single evil person throughout history was just taking this medicine that had alcohol (btw, alcohol in medicine has to be so little to wear it doesnt have an effect, thats the fatwa) according to you.

[@ColonelFluffles]

@@haydaralali8133 I disagree. Religion was not given to us to resist the urge whatever you want. I understand where you'd get that idea from, but in the Qur'an this isn't true. Allah has given us al-Islam so that we develop good characters and belief in the eternal oneness of Allah. I've seen people coming closer to Allah and developing great character by transitioning. However, I also believe these people belong to the minority. I agree with you that this is not the case for the average man or woman. That's why there's no reason to panic that "everyone's becoming transgender", because this is a concern of like 1% of people or even less. Wa Allahu a3lam

[@haydaralali8133]

@@ColonelFluffles In sunni islam, if one masturbates (which is considered zina universally), it is ok if it prevents you from doing that zina with another person. This is part of the way they cope with not having muta. Maybe someone has an oppressive father that wont let them go to a hussainiya, or wont let them study in a hawza. They then decide to kill their father. Umar bin Abdulaziz is still a usurper even with some of his good character. He is going to hell. This is a sunni mindset in general "sure x sahabi or whoever did x, but because of that they ended up doing y!!!" The means of sin doesn't justify the end... even if it's a pious one. Sinning to be more pious defeats the whole purpose of being pious in the first place.... its called hipocrisy. "May Allah not have mercy on men who look and act like women, and women who look and act like men". Who do you think that hadeeth was about? I'd like to add that part of good character is resisting these urges influenced by depraved environments, because one is able to resist them if they do truly believe in the eternal oneness of Allah. I recommend the documentary "What is a Woman?"

Hoping I repent is a kind thought according to your religion so I take no offense to that, but "Have fun in hell" is really passive aggressive, no? Dont forget to be kind even to those who are different from you. "He who is deprived of kindness is deprived of goodness."

[@FarisAlHussain1]

@@haydaralali8133 In an attempt to defend Islam you end up being very ignorant. For a Muslim you have no compassion? If you listened to this lecture with an open mind there is nothing to doubt. As sheikh said Islam is the voice for the voiceless. Islam is not a hateful religion you speak of. People smoke and have sex and drink and we accept them, so even if it is a sin why are you so full of hate. Like prophet Esa said “he who is sinless throw the first stone”

Well … how do you normally decide what to call someone other than how they present themselves? You don’t normally ask everyone you meet for a birth certificate, do you? You meet someone with a woman’s name and women’s clothing and who looks female … and you treat them as a woman. Right?

I came back to this lecture and I have to say, I can now notice the connect the dots provided at the tail end of the lecture more, but I do believe that perhaps, and Ig this is a common thing this audience needs... that too much of a leninent unconfrontational method was used. Ig a result of the emasculated and irresponsible environment the West is... Shaykh Azhar Al Nasser tackled that well. This method of giving a thumbs up but only indirectly giving a thumbs down may serve to let people who are on the path of sinning feel comfortable in sinning and less likely to repent. They won't necessarily notice the dots if they got a 👍👍

Why do shias used Alai Salam for non prophet

[@naveenhussain2450]

[@zeldatanit4346]

Can anyone please respectfully answer this question? If iran is more accepting of transgenders being that well they actual pay for transgender surgery Why is it still a major stigma among the Shiite community to talk about it ? Or is the decision to pay for these kinds of surgeries based on something other than theology ? Are there rulings against them or being transgender ? Maybe I misunderstood but the sayed was saying it is haram in Islam to be gender neutral correct ? So you have to make a decision to either be female or male. Any thoughts please?

[@RealCoachMustafa]

Not all Ayatollah agree on gender reassignment surgery. Sayyid Khomeini made a fatwa in the 1970s to an individual to have gender reassignment surgery. Sayyed Khamenei reconfirmed this to be allowed. But Sayyid Sistani says because medical technology can't change the genitalia of a person into a function genitalia of the opposite gender, then it's not allowed. Sayyid Sistani says that once technology advances to the point that gender reassignment can change a gender into the opposite gender with genitalia that can reproduce children in the correct way, then it will be permissible, but until then it is haram. So to answer question, I don't know what Sayyid Khomeini based his fatwa on, and it seems that Sayyed Khamenei based his fatwa on not contradicting Sayyid Khomeini. But Sayyid Sistani has based his fatwa clearly on the biological function of a person's ability to impregnate or be impregnated.

[@aliabu-talib332]

The difference is profound my sister. There is a difference between transgender and transsexual. In Iran, if after careful modern tests, and analysis, a person is diagnosed as transsexual, they may decide to proceed to transition into all male or all female, depending on there doctors' prescription. In the Western world, the issue of gender versus sexuality is the issue. A person can simply claim to FEEL different that the sexuality they were "assigned" to at birth. And then can proceed without any of these tests to have a sex change. These irreversable procedures are now being done on children as young as five and six years old... all over the western world. It's become a multi million dollar business. Thus it is now profit driven. Also the social magicians have now waved their magic wands and have made it illegal in the US to use traditional pronouns to "identify" people. This is not happening in Iran, and nowhere else outside the Western World. Most of us see this as an assault on freedom of speech.

[@user-pf3vz3rd9h]

@@RealCoachMustafa please elaborate if possible, so according to Sayed al Sistani it is ok for a person to change their gender if they felt like it even though men and women are forbidden to even wear clothes that would make them appear like the opposite gender? Is it ok for people to go against what Allah decreed for them at birth and choose a different identity?

[@RealCoachMustafa]

@@user-pf3vz3rd9h No, I didn't say any of that at all. Sayed Sistani said it's NOT permissible to do gender transition surgery. His reason is because when a man changes to a woman, his genitals does not work like a woman's genitals. A man who turns into a woman can not get pregnant. He doesn't produce eggs and he doesn't have ovaries that function properly. Same for the other way around. A woman who goes through gender transition surgery. Her genitals don't produce sperm and can't get a woman pregnant. That is his explanation as to why he said it's not permissible. It's on his website, go read it.

[@ajlal13]

@@aliabu-talib332 so may I ask very respectfully…If Iran does it, it’s ok but if US or any other western nation does it, its not ok? What does it really mean to be all man and all woman? Is it all in one’s head or is it deep rooted as deep as being embedded in your dna….such that 1000s of years later a man can still be identified as a man and a woman as a woman. Honestly really trying to understand. Maybe there’s something I’m not getting.

[@AhlamShia]

Salam Alaikum Sayed. Thank you very much for your majlis and InshAllah it is accepted by Allah. Just want to point out. Listening to you I could say you just look into the tip of the iceberg. Just as you mentioned how in Najaf Muslims scholars are studying for many years, there are many researches about this topic and it’s impossible that you covered everything. You did not go into the details which I understand. But I highly recommend at least to have conversation, read books and mostly important articles and lectures someone like Jordan Peterson.
