Was the flood of Nuh(as) a worldwide flood?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Does it say in the holy Quran whether the flood that affected Noah and his family was a worldwide or local one? Did it affect the whole world or only the village where Nuh(as) and his family lived.

Answer

1. The floods encompassed the whole world. (Tafseer Mazhari vol.6 pg.40)
2. Allah Ta’ala ordered Nooh to take onto the ship those useful to man. Nooh
(Alayhis salaam) excluded animals which live in water and earthly creatures.
(Bayaanul Qur’aan vol.1 pg.47; Hashiyatul Jamal; Tafseer Baghawi vol.2
pg.34). The first to enter was a parrot and the last was a donkey.
