The ruling on visiting the sites of Lut (peace be upon him)

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In one of the villages of Palestine, near the place where Allah was displeased with the people of Lut, there is a place with a large rock on which are carved footprints and hands, and a place for prostration, all carved into the rock. They say that these are the traces and footprints of Lut (peace be upon him). Is it permissible to visit this place?

Answer:
This is a lie. Even if it were established, even if it were established that these are the footprints and traces of Lut (peace be upon him), it would not be permissible for us to visit it or to worship at it. And in fact, this has not been established. And who is to prevent someone from coming and carving these things and chiseling them into the rock in order to mislead the people? Yes.
