Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In the time of Noah (peace be upon him), were the people whom Allah the Exalted destroyed only those whom Noah (peace be upon him) called? Were they the ones who were living on the entire earth? Or were there people scattered in various places in the world?
Answer:
My brother, do not ask me about something I do not know. This is from the knowledge of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
