How is one who commits the act of the people of Lot to be killed?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Do we derive from the angels' turning of the city of Lot a ruling on killing one who commits this act, namely that he is thrown from the highest point in the city?

Answer:
Some scholars said that the punishment for the one who commits the act of Lot is that he is killed in all cases. The Companions agreed that he is to be killed, but as for the manner in which he is killed, some said he is killed with the sword, and some said he is burned with fire. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with them both) burned a group of those who committed the act of Lot. And some said that he is thrown from a high place and stones are thrown at him, as Allah did to the people of Lot. Yes.
