Abstract
In just a few decades, homosexuality has gone from a condemned criminal practice to a protected status. Each individual now has a recognized human right to be free from discrimination on the basis of his or her sexual orientation. Still, homosexuality remains a crime in many Muslim countries. Some even impose capital punishment for the act, using Islamic law to justify this. Jurists derive Islamic law (fiqh) from interpretations of two revealed sources of law – the Qur’an and the Sunna – through a set methodology termed usul al-fiqh.
