Al-Khidr: Is he a real person who is still alive, what is his true residence, and has he really not performed Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah until now?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks and says: Regarding the righteous servant Al-Khidr, is he a real person who is still alive? What is his true residence? And has he really not performed Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah until now? If so, when will he perform Hajj? May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
The wine is 'Abd al-Salih, one of the servants of Allah to whom Allah granted knowledge from His presence. Musa (peace be upon him) went to him, traveling to him and enduring hardships and difficulties to learn from the knowledge he possessed. He, like other human beings, was overtaken by death and died, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anbya 21:34] The prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) and the messengers died, so how can the news remain? Likewise, His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He: [Ali 'Imran 3:185] It has not been established that he is alive; rather, this is from the sayings of the ignorant and the fabricators. If he were still alive, it would be obligatory for him to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The presenter:
That is possible.
The Shaykh:
Muhammad, because Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent to the two groups, the jinn and mankind. Therefore, no one who is alive and present on the face of the earth is exempt from believing in him. It has not been reported that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), declared his Islam, and testified to his prophethood, which indicates that he is dead. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. And regarding the stone, is it not so?
The Shaykh:
This is a lie for which Allah has not sent down any authority.
The presenter:
We seek help from Allah.

And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَ أَفَإِن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ الْخَالِدُونَEvery soul will taste death
