[[Mukhannathun]] (مخنثون "effeminate ones", "men who resemble women", singular mukhannath) were men who acted in ways interpreted as feminine. As time went on, the ''mukhannathun'' were forced to be castrated.<ref name="Ar">{{cite book |last1=Martin |first1=Fran |last2=Jackson |first2=Peter |last3=McLelland |first3=Mark |last4=Yue |first4=Audrey |title=AsiaPacifiQueer: Rethinking Genders and Sexualities |date=2010 |publisher=University of Illinois Press |isbn=978-0-252-09181-0 |page=91 |url=https://books.google.com.bd/books?id=PssO1pfKDtwC&pg=PA91&dq=sex+change+islam&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi40amQptLpAhVMxDgGHYRfA6UQ6AEIKzAB#v=onepage&q=sex%20change%20islam&f=false |accessdate=26 May 2020 |language=en}}</ref> There has been significant mention of "mukhannathun" in ahadith and by scholars of Islam.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Geissinger |first1=Aisha |title=Gender and Muslim Constructions of Exegetical Authority: A Rereading of the Classical Genre of Qurʾān Commentary |date=2015 |publisher=BRILL |isbn=978-90-04-29444-8 |page=31 |url=https://books.google.com.bd/books?id=7lPFCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA31&dq=mukhannath&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwid9vb2pNLpAhVk4jgGHdK6BhMQ6AEIQTAE#v=onepage&q=mukhannath&f=false |accessdate=26 May 2020 |language=en}}</ref> The word refers to a person who behaves like a woman in gentleness, speech, appearance, movements and so on. The mukhannath or effeminate man is one who is obviously male, unlike the khuntha (intersex).<ref name="Ar"/> Effeminate people are of two types.
(i)Those who are created that way (intersex); there is no sin on them.
(ii)Those who were not created that way; rather they choose to imitate women in their movements and speech. This is the type which is cursed in the [[hadith]]s.<ref name=intersexmarriage/>
The following tradition speaks to their behavior:<ref name="Ar"/>
{{quotation|Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet cursed effeminate men; those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, "Turn them out of your houses."

[[Sex change operation]] means that healthy males or females suffering from no deformity, who are able to marry and [[reproduce]], choose to undergo elective surgery to transform themselves into the appearance of the opposite sex. This kind of surgery is prohibited by [[Islamic Law]] because it is altering Allah's creation needlessly and in vanity, and some scholars claimed it to be worse than homosexuality.<ref name="l">{{cite book |title=Love & sex in Islam |isbn=978-5-98443-040-1 |page=49 |url=https://books.google.com.bd/books?id=PSX6BgBpoCMC&pg=PA49&dq=sex+change+islam&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi40amQptLpAhVMxDgGHYRfA6UQ6AEIMjAC#v=onepage&q=sex%20change%20islam&f=false |accessdate=26 May 2020 |language=en}}</ref> Allah relates that [[Satan]] says:{{quotation| “And I shall order them and they will alter Allah’s creation.” |[Sûrah al-Nisâ’:119]<ref name="l"/>}}
