[3163] She was so condemned because she condoned the morally degrading behaviour of her people, not for practically partaking in it (cf. Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmūʿ al-Fatāwā, 15/344). It is amazing to see how the Qur’an makes special mention of this fact, i.e. that of all of Prophet Lot’s household she was to ‘remain in doom’ with her likes (cf. for instance: 7: 83, 15: 60, 26: 171, 27: 57, 29: 32 and 33, 37: 135). This sends a clear message that sympathizing with and condoning vice is as good as being implicated in it!
