Is it correct to say that some animals have become extinct?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: You previously stated with us that creation continues to reproduce until the Day of Resurrection, until Allah inherits the earth and whoever is upon it. We hear in these times that some people say that there are some animals that have become extinct, such as the dinosaur. Is this correct?

Answer:
Whoever Allah wills to become extinct becomes extinct. The previous nations, the people of Noah, the people of 'Aad, and the people of Hud, who were destroyed, became extinct, and none remained except those who boarded the ship with Noah (peace be upon him). So whoever Allah wills to become extinct becomes extinct. Yes, this is up to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Likewise, those who were transformed into apes and pigs from among the Jews and the Christians; their lineage was cut off and no offspring was found for them. Yes.
