Do people see their Lord in the gathering places of the Day of Resurrection before Paradise?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Do people see their Lord in the gathering places of the Day of Resurrection before entering Paradise? And does seeing Allah the Exalted before entering Paradise contradict His saying:
For them who have done good is the best [reward] and extraلِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌ
[Yunus 10:26]
? And the addition is seeing Allah in Paradise?

Answer:
Seeing Allah by the believers after they enter Paradise is mass-transmitted (mutawatir) and is a core part of the creed; it is obligatory to believe in it. As for seeing Allah in the gathering places of the Day of Resurrection, this is a matter of disagreement among the scholars, and Allah knows best. As for seeing Allah in this world, this is absolutely impossible; it is impossible to see Allah in this world. Yes.
