Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on children who died before reaching puberty, who died as Muslims? He says: Is Paradise specifically witnessed for them?
Answer:
Even for adults, Paradise is not witnessed for any specific person except for those for whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) witnessed it. We do not witness Paradise or Hell for any specific person. We do not witness Paradise or Hell for a specific person except with evidence. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) witnessed it for them. As for others, we hope for the doers of good and fear for the doers of evil. This is the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community in this matter, yes.
