The Issue of the Extinction of the Fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is this issue one of the matters of 'aqidah (creed), namely the issue of the extinction of the Fire or its permanence?
Answer:
What do you want with the Fire? Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) created the Fire as a dwelling for the disbelievers, and He informed that they will be immortal in it, may Allah protect us from that. A Muslim may enter it due to his sins, then be purified by it, then exit and enter Paradise. This is what must be believed. As for whether it will be extinguished or not, you have no concern with this. Yes, this is among the superfluous words, superfluous issues. Yes.
