Is it true that naming the act of the people of Lut as liwat involves exposing the name of this Prophet?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Some people say: It is not appropriate to name the sin committed by the people of Lut as liwat because it exposes the name of this Prophet. What is your guidance regarding this statement?
The Shaykh : This is not correct, because the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) still say this. They say: the one who commits liwat, and they say: liwat. Yes, and they even classified calling a person "O Lut" as an accusation of sodomy (qadhf), for which the accuser is flogged eighty lashes, unless he presents proof or the accused admits to and confesses to this attribute.
