Some Sufis deny that the Prophet’s father and his uncle are in the Fire, claiming it is out of their love for the Prophet. How should one respond to them?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some Sufis, some Sufis in my country, deny that the father of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), his mother, and Abu Talib are in the Fire. They say, “We will all go to the Fire, and all of creation, but these people will not enter the Fire.” They claim this out of love for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family. How should one answer these people?

Answer:
This is ignorance on their part. This is ignorance on their part. Abu Talib died a disbeliever and refused to say, “There is no god but Allah.” He refused to say, “There is no god but Allah.” When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to seek forgiveness for him, Allah revealed to him: Likewise, his father, the father of the Messenger, and his mother died before the Message on the religion of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. They died on the religion of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib. When Abu Talib said to the Messenger, “O uncle, say, ‘There is no god but Allah,’” they said to him, “Do you desire to turn away from the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib?” He refused to say, “There is no god but Allah,” out of zeal for the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib, because it was polytheistic. They used to worship idols and did not want to say, “There is no god but Allah.” The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) understood that they refused to say, “There is no god but Allah.” The people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance are undoubtedly disbelievers, except for those who held fast to the correct religion, the religion of 'Isa (peace be upon him), the correct religion that had not been altered or changed until Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and they believed in Muhammad. Such a person has two rewards: the reward of faith in 'Isa (peace be upon him) and the reward of faith in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). “O you who believe, believe in Allah and His Messenger, and He will give you double of His mercy.” Those who believed among the Christians were commanded by Allah to believe in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) so that Allah would give them two rewards: a reward for their faith in the previous prophets and a reward for their faith in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, yes.
And the relatives of the Prophet, the relatives of the Prophet, are not required to be believers. This is the case with Ibrahim; his father, may Allah protect us from such, was one of the major disbelievers and polytheists, the father of Ibrahim al-Khalil. And Allah prevented him from seeking forgiveness for him. And this is the case with Nuh (peace be upon him); his son was among the disbelievers, the son of Nuh was among the disbelievers, as Allah mentioned regarding him: “He did not do a good deed, and he was the son of a prophet.” This does not prevent the fact that the father or son of a prophet may be a disbeliever.
