Summary
The people of Prophet Lut lived in the village of Sodom and committed idolatry, lewd acts and homosexuality, and are described as the first to practise it. Prophet Lut called them to worship Allah and abandon these acts, but they refused and sought to expel him. Allah destroyed them, and the story serves as a lesson for all humanity, with a stern warning against those who inherit the path of that people.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Antara maksiat yang mereka lakukan ialah perbuatan syirik kepada Allah SWT serta mereka disebut sebagai pelaku pertama perlakuan homoseksual di kalangan lelaki mahupun wanita.
