Homosexuality

Q: Are gay people born gay or they become gay after they are born? If they are born gay then how can Allah punish them and say they are committing sin? Because they are born gay. They naturally get attracted towards men. I saw few debates in which even doctors told studies shows that gay people are born gay. Please provide Answers with proof and evidence. If you say they are not born gay but they become gay afterwards then suggest what measures we can take to make them normal again.

Fear to speak to one's parents regarding nikaah

Q: I am 25 (male) from a well-off family and presently pursuing PhD in earth sciences with a decent fellowship but you know the environment here at the university not very pious (there is co-education in the university) and one finds it very difficult to control his emotions. Nikkah seems to be the best solution to prevent oneself in such a dirty environment but the problem is that I am not able to communicate the same to my parents. Now I request you you if you could spent some moments of your precious time to suggest me how to approach my parents for the same. I am ready to marry any girl from any nationality unless she is a pious and practicing Muslim.

Masbooq (latecomer) joining the Imaam before Salaam

Q: Whilst performing Salaah with Jamaat behind an Imaam, if a Masbooq (latecomer) joins the Salaah after the Imaam has completed four rakaats and joins just before the Salaam.

1. Is it necessary for him to recite the tashahhud with the Imaam for his Salaah to be valid or is it sufficient for his Salaah to be valid that he joins in the Salaah before the Imaam makes salaam?

2. Should the Masbooq recite only Tashahud in the Qa'dah or also Durood Ibraaheem and Duaa after Durood.
