Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The stronger interpretation of the words of the Exalted and Majestic regarding Lut (peace be upon him) is that he said:[Hud 11:78]
Answer:
His daughters means the women of the believers, because they are the daughters of the Prophet. Muhammad was not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. And in one reading it is:[Al-Ahzab 33:6] and in another reading it is: “and he is their father.” So his daughters means in terms of faith and religion. Yes.
