Question

I am doing a gcse drama play on lgbt and my role is a Muslim lesbian. Can I do the play or not?

Answer

It is not only haraam and forbidden, rather it may take you out of Islam. Aren't you ashamed of yourself. The intention of such filth is sickening.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
