The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a person says the two testimonies of faith while he is on his deathbed, does that make him a Muslim?
The Shaykh:
On his deathbed, what do you mean by on his deathbed?
The questioner:
And he is on his deathbed, does that make him a Muslim?
The Shaykh:
So when the soul reaches the throat, repentance is past, and no repentance is accepted from a repentant person, nor is Islam accepted from a disbeliever, when the soul reaches the throat and the death rattle begins. Yes.
