Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is 'Isa (peace be upon him) alive with a barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) life or an ordinary life?

Answer:
'Isa (peace be upon him) did not die; Allah raised him up. Allah raised him to Himself while he was alive. He will descend at the end of time, and then he will die at the end of time.
And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely believe in Jesus before his deathوَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ
[An-Nisa 4:159]
. That is, at the end of time, after his descent. As for His saying (Exalted and Majestic is He), "I will take you," the intended meaning of "taking" here is not the taking of death. Rather, it is the taking of seizing, meaning Allah seizing him and raising him to Himself (Glorified and Exalted is He) while he is alive. Yes.
