The ruling on attributing the statement that the Fire will end to Shaykh al-Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the authenticity of the report attributed to Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Ibn al-Qayyim stating that the Fire will be extinguished, and that those in the Fire will enter Paradise after being purified of their sins, even if they were disbelievers? And does al-San'ani's refutation and Al-Albani's verification of this book validate the attribution of this statement to Shaykh al-Islam?
Answer:
This last statement is false. It is not what Shaykh al-Islam said. He did not say that they will enter Paradise, nor that a disbeliever will enter Paradise. Allah has forbidden both of them to the disbelievers.[Al-A'raf 7:50] [Al-Ma'idah 5:72] Whoever attributes to Shaykh al-Islam the claim that they will enter Paradise is attributing to him the statement that he says the Fire is a reward. This is a mistaken statement without a doubt.
This is an erroneous statement. However, the opponents and enemies seek out the slightest error in Shaykh al-Islam to expose it. But Shaykh al-Islam has virtues. He has virtues and he fought in the path of Allah. He has what covers this minor error, if it is authentic from him.
In a matter of independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) where he erred, if it is authentic, and he has virtues and miracles, and he has jihad in the path of Allah with the tongue, the pen, and the sword, that covers this minor error. And that they seek out this minor error and display to people that Shaykh al-Islam says such and such. Well, they see the errors in themselves, such as Jahmiyyah, Mu'tazilah, Shi'ism, and others.
And the worship of graves and shrines; they do not see these errors that they have. And they display a secondary issue attributed to Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. Praise be to Allah that they did not find anything but this. Praise be to Allah that they did not find anything against Shaykh al-Islam but this, if it is authentic. Yes.

"Pour upon us some water or from whatever Allah has provided you." They will say, "Indeed, Allah has forbidden them both to the disbelievers."
أَنْ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَIndeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
إِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍThis is an erroneous statement.
