Why is the shutter magnet stuck?

Why is the shutter magnet stuck? After a trip to the sand dunes, I guess sand got into the camera because my camera started taking pictures as I pulled the film advance lever (and apparently this happens if dust or particles, like sand, interferes with the magnet.)
