The characteristics of the people of Lut.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Mashhur: What is the correct view? What is authentic from the Prophetic Sunnah regarding the characteristics of the people of Lut? What was reported about them? Was anything reported about them?
The Shaykh : The characteristics of the people of Lut, do you know them? In the Qur'an, they are mentioned in connection with the heinous crime. I am not thinking about the verse because it is well known. I am just trying to recall if there were other things in my mind that they used to do. I am trying to bring them to mind. There are hadiths that are not authentic that it was their custom to whistle and to pass gas in the assembly. But the truth is, I do not remember now. If there is something authentic—And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings—then the answer, my brother, if you started from the right, it is not up to you, it is up to me. Now, from here, yes, from you? No, no, like that.
Mashhur: All right, our Shaykh,[Al-'Ankabut 29:29] what is the heinous crime? I mean, what is authentic or what is the stronger opinion for you regarding the heinous crime?
The Shaykh : Perhaps this is one of the arguments of those who say it is passing gas.
Mashhur: It was said that removing pebbles is what is meant by the heinous crime.
The Shaykh : I do not know.
Mashhur: And it was said that passing gas was said to be... but I want the authentic one.

Mashhur: All right, our Shaykh,
and commit in your meetings [every] evil
