Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person commits the act of the people of Lot, is it true that he is not called a "Lotian" (Luti)? He says this is because it is bad manners toward the Prophet Lot.

Answer:
He is called a "Lotian" (Luti) by reference to sodomy (liwat). Lot (peace and blessings be upon him) is not named after sodomy. His name is Lot, the son of Abraham’s brother, and his uncle was Abraham, a prophet among the prophets of Allah, named Lot. Yes.
