Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are increasingly active in Malaysia and are a cause for concern. Various campaigns and events are held to promote and normalise this contrasting culture in the community. The slogan of human rights (HAM) is misused to call for the recognition and equality of rights locally and internationally. Therefore, this study aims to explore the approach of al-zajr bi al-hajr (prevention through boycott) in Islam and to analyse the compatibility of this approach in dealing with LGBT symptoms in Malaysia. The methodology of this study utilised a qualitative approach through exploration. Data were collected through documentation and structured interviews. The findings of this study concluded that the method of al-zajr bi al-hajris an important approach to prevent people from making mistakes or repeating them in the future. One of the subdivisions of al-hajris the approach of boycott or ostracism, which has been practised from the time of Rasulullah SAW to the present day. This study outlines an approach that can be used for LGBT individuals who wish to change through isolation, through regular programmes such as mukhayyam and religious education. For the vocal LGBT groups, on the other hand, the appropriate approach is isolation through law enforcement, economic boycotts and the imposition of restrictions on the real and virtual platform. Overall, al-zajr bi al-hajr is an approach that can be applied to LGBT issues in Malaysia depending on the group's current situation. Authorities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the community at large are encouraged to apply this method in addition to existing methods to deal wisely with LGBT issues in Malaysia.

Slogan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) disalahguna bagi menuntut pengiktirafan dan kesamarataan hak di peringkat tempatan dan antarabangsa. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis pendekatan al-zajr bi al-hajr (pencegahan melalui pemulauan) di dalam Islam dan menganalisis kesesuaian pendekatan ini dalam menangani gejala LGBT di Malaysia. Metodologi kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui eksplorasi. Data dikumpulkan melalui kaedah dokumentasi dan temu bual berstruktur. Hasil kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa kaedah al-zajr bi al-hajr merupakan pendekatan yang penting untuk mencegah manusia daripada melakukan kesalahan atau mengulangi kesalahan di masa depan. Salah satu cabang al-hajr adalah melalui pendekatan boikot atau pemulauan yang telah dilakukan sejak zaman Rasulullah SAW hingga kini. Kajian ini menggariskan pendekatan yang boleh digunakan terhadap golongan LGBT yang ingin berubah dengan melalui pengasingan melalui program berkala seperti mukhayyam dan kelas pengajian agama. Manakala, bagi golongan LGBT yang lebih tegar, pendekatan yang sesuai adalah pengasingan melalui penguatkuasaan undang-undang, boikot ekonomi, dan pelaksanaan sekatan di alam realiti dan alam maya. Secara keseluruhannya, al-zajr bi al-hajr merupakan pendekatan yang dapat diterapkan untuk menangani gejala LGBT di Malaysia mengikut keadaan semasa golongan tersebut. Pihak berkuasa, pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO), dan seluruh masyarakat digalakkan menggunakan kaedah ini sebagai tambahan kepada kaedah sedia ada untuk menangani isu LGBT di Malaysia dengan hikmah.
