(26:160) The people of LūT rejected the messengers
(26:161) when their brother LūT said to them, “Do you not fear Allah
(26:162) I am an honest messenger for you
(26:163) So fear Allah and obey me
(26:164) I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds
(26:165) Do you go to the males (for having sex) out of the whole universe
(26:166) and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? Indeed you are a people who cross (all) limits.”
(26:167) They said, “If you do not stop O LūT, you shall be included among the outcast.”
(26:168) He said “Indeed, I am annoyed with your act
(26:169) My Lord, save me and my family from what they do.”
(26:170) So We saved him and his family, all of them
(26:171) except an old woman among those who remained behind
(26:172) Then We destroyed the others
(26:173) and subjected them to a terrible rain. So evil was the rain of those who were warned
(26:174) Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers
(26:175) and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful
Unnatural act is unlawful even with one's own wife
وَتَذَرُ‌ونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَ‌بُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم
And leave what your Lord has created for you, that is, your wives? - 26:166
In the phrase مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم the word مِّنْ (min) Min could be descriptive (which is translated above as 'that is1) if taken in the technical sense, which would mean that in order to satisfy your lust you go after the homosexual men instead of your wives, whom Allah has given you to meet your natural urge. This is indeed a proof of malignity. The other possibility is that the letter 'Min' is used to mean 'from' or 'out of; then the meaning of the verse would be that it is a special part in the body of your wives which is created for the satisfaction of your natural urge. But you indulge in unnatural act with them, which is totally unlawful. Thus according to this second interpretation, it has also been made clear that it is not permitted to have unnatural intercourse with one's wife. In a hadith Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has cast curse on such a person. نَعُذ باللہ منۃ (Ruh al-Ma' ani).
Except an old woman among those who remained behind. - 26:171
The word 'old woman' is used for the wife of Sayyidna Lut علیہ السلام who was an infidel and was agreeable to the unnatural act of the people of Lut (علیہ السلام) If the wife of Lut (علیہ السلام) was an old woman then the use of this word for her is quite clear, but if she was not old, then perhaps she was called 'old woman' for the reason that the prophet's wife is regarded like the mother of the Ummah, and to call a woman having many children as old is not unlikely.
and subjected them to a terrible rain. So evil was the rain of those who were warned. - 26:173
This verse has confirmed that if a man commits sodomy, he may be punished with throwing a wall on him or by throwing him down from a high place, as suggested by Hanafi scholars, because the people of Lut (علیہ السلام) were destroyed in a similar manner. Their township was lifted and thrown on the ground. (Shami Kitab Al-Hudud)
