The attribution of sodomy to Lut (peace be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is not permissible, it is not permissible to say that a sodomite is described by this term except for their father (peace be upon him). Rather, he is called "Shak" as mentioned in the Noble Qur'an.

Answer:
This is a statement with no basis. Sodomy is not attributed to Lut; his name is Lut (peace be upon him). Lut believed in him, and sodomy is a heinous crime that Lut came to deny and prohibit.
Do you approach males among the worldsأَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:165]
.
Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
[Al-A'raf 7:80]
? There is no objection to saying that "Lutiyyah" is an attribution to sodomy, to the sodomy which is the act of the heinous crime, and not an attribution to Lut (peace and blessings be upon him). Whoever attributes this to Lut has apostatized from Islam.
