Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it better to say "the act of the people of Lut" or "sodomy," so that we do not attribute this heinous sin to the Prophet of Allah, Lut (peace be upon him)?
Answer:
What is its attribution to? I said "the act of the people of Lut," and you have attributed it to the people, not to Lut (peace be upon him). Yes, I did not say "this is the act of Lut." I ask Allah for well-being. No, a Muslim does not say "this is the act of Lut"; he says "the act of the people of Lut." Yes, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) named them[Hud 11:89] He named them the people of Lut. Yes.
