Abstract AR
This study aims at shedding some light on another aspect in the broad and exciting life of al-Jahiz1 (159 h.-255 h.).
This aspect is related to the moral side of al-Jahiz' life and the doubts that have been raised about it.
It investigates his attitude about the widespread phenomenon of Uranism/ homosexuality),2 which is sometimes called "inversion" when it occurs among the two sexes.
Inversion is a kind of sexual deviation that is characterized by the individual's attraction to the same sex, for which modern psychologists use the term "homosexuality" among males and "lesbianism" among females.
However, this study focuses on homosexuality among men in Islamic society in general and al-Jahiz and his generation in particular
