Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on one who died before the mission of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
His ruling is the ruling of the people of the interval; his ruling is the ruling of the people of the interval. However, the people of the interval had remnants of previous messages; some of them were Christians on the religion of Jesus, and they had remnants of the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Therefore, they perform Hajj at the House; this is from the religion of Ibrahim. And they stand at 'Arafah; this is a remnant of the religion of Ibrahim, but they mixed it with shirk (associating partners with Allah); they mixed it with shirk. So, apparently, and Allah knows best, their affair is with Allah, but we do not rule that they are Muslims, and they worship idols and statues. Yes.
