Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the story of Noah (peace be upon him), did the people of the earth all drown, except for those who were in the ship, or only? Or did only a specific part of the earth drown and the rest of the earth did not drown?

Answer:
The flood covered the entire earth, and everyone on the earth drowned except for those who were in the ship. Allah commanded him to take aboard two of every pair in the ship for the sake of the preservation of the lineage and creation. So Allah drowned the people of the earth in the disbelief that occurred, may Allah protect us from it. Yes.
