Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to specify by name that disbelievers who have died are in the Fire?

Answer:
We do not rule that anyone is in the Fire except with evidence from Allah’s ruling that he is in the Fire, such as Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun, so we rule regarding them. As for one whom Allah and His Messenger have not ruled to be in the Fire, we do not assert it, because we do not know how his end was sealed; we do not know the unseen. However, we hope for the doer of good and fear for the doer of evil.
