Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the correct interpretation of this verse found in the story of Lut?[Hud 11:78]
Answer:
Or “for you” means his daughters, meaning the daughters of his community, because the daughters of a community are considered the daughters of the Prophet. So he is referring to the daughters of his community, the daughters of his community, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ahzab 33:6]. So they are his daughters in the sense that he is a Prophet and they are from his community. And the meaning of “purer for you” means through marriage, through lawful marriage. [Ash-Shu'ara 26:165-166]? It means through lawful marriage. So he is asking them to marry the women whom Allah has made lawful for them from the women of his community, and to abandon the crime of sodomy. Yes.

النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ(165) Do you approach males among the worlds (166) And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates?
أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم
