The Ruling on the Death of the People of the Fire from Among the Sinful Monotheists
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The sinful monotheists who enter the Fire and then come out of it: do they count among the dead when they are cast into the River of Life, as we understood from what the poet mentioned?
The Shaykh:
They die from the torment; they burn in the Fire; they die from the burning, may Allah protect us. It is not the first death, but a death by burning. Yes. May Allah reward you.
The questioner:
He says in his question: If they have died, how do you reconcile that with the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-A'la 87:13]
The Shaykh:
This is regarding the disbeliever:[Al-Layl 92:14-16] So this [Al-A'la 87:13] means he does not die a death that brings him relief, nor does he live a life in which he takes pleasure. Rather, he is neither alive in a life that brings him pleasure and rest, nor dead in a way that brings him rest and cuts off the torment from him. Yes.

Neither dying therein nor living.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰThe Shaykh:
This is regarding the disbeliever:
(14) So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing. (15) None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. (16) Who had denied and turned away.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰdying therein nor living.
لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
