Question:
He says that there is no clear evidence that the hadiths of intercession apply to those who were unable to perform the deeds, and that saying so is a matter of figurative interpretation.
Answer:
Those who entered Islam and were unable to perform the deeds, and died in that state, do not need intercession. They do not need intercession because they are not punished for leaving off the deeds, since they were unable to perform them, so they do not need intercession. Intercession is for the one who left off some of the deeds that are less than leaving off some of the deeds that are less than disbelief and less than associating partners with Allah, and for which he has become deserving of punishment. This is where intercession benefits him, by the permission of Allah.
