The ruling on affirming the Pool and its location before the Sirat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some scholars mention that there is a Pool that the believers will reach before crossing the Sirat. Is this statement correct? What is its evidence?
Answer:
I do not know of any evidence for it, and I do not know. However, the Pool is established in its existence. As for its location—whether it is before the Sirat or after it—Allah knows best. These are the scholars' independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) and they require evidence. But affirming the existence of the Pool is established. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
