Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah make you righteous, you mentioned that the Fire will be open. How do you reconcile that with His saying, “Indeed, they are closed against them”?
Answer:
After they enter it. However, when they are returned to it, it is opened for them without them asking for it to be opened. But when they enter it, it is shut against them, may Allah protect us from that; they do not come out of it; it is closed upon them.
