Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it established that the people of Lut were drowned in the Dead Sea?

Answer:
Allah knows best. I do not know this, but Allah drowned them. It is not that He drowned them; rather, Allah caused the earth to sink beneath them and sent stones after them. Their dwellings became what they call the Dead Sea, and Allah knows best. It is not fit for anything, no. Yes.
