Question
A sexual pervert wants to embrace Islam. What if he continues with his perversion, e.g. he may be a gay?
Answer
Any person can convert to Islam regardless of the type of sinner/criminal he may be. As long as he believes in all the beliefs and teachings of Islam he will be a Muslim even if he is not a practising one. If he believes that his acts of sexual perversion are haraam, then he will remain a Muslim. However, if he does not believe that his sins are sins, then he will cease being a Muslim.
