Is the narration valid that our master, Umar -may Allah be pleased with him- was treated with men's water, and is this what made the People of Sunnah delete these narrations from their books, and is this what those who disparage Sheikh Al-Sha'rawi allude to by likening it to the act of the people of Lot's abomination?

Accusing Al-Faruq Umar of lying can only come from a wicked, foolish person, and this fabrication does not deserve to be transmitted or responded to. The claim that Ahl al-Sunnah have removed these words from their books is laughable, as this nonsense was only recorded in the books of later generations. As for slandering Sheikh Al-Sha'rawi, it is not surprising after slandering Umar ibn al-Khattab, and we recall the saying of Allah the Almighty: "And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly borne slander and a manifest sin."
