The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says the people of Lut were destroyed for rejecting God, as in every prophet's story, with their other behaviour secondary.

In more detail

Asked about the actual crime of the people of Lut, Mufti Abu Layth says it was that they rejected God, which he says is the crime in all the stories of the prophets in the Quran. He says the other behaviour mentioned about such peoples, giving cheating in trade as an example, is always secondary and goes on everywhere; it was not the reason they met their doom but is added to show their arrogance.

In his words

“it's not the reason that they met their doom it was because they denied god that's the same with every single prophet”
