Is the Fire currently existing, and what is the evidence for its existence?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the Fire currently existing? What is the wisdom behind its existence? And how do we respond to those who deny its existence?

Answer:
This is a curious question with no benefit, but the evidence indicates that the Fire exists, and Paradise exists, and the signs occurring in this world indicate the existence of both. The intense heat is from the scorching wind of Hell, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . This is evidence that the Fire exists. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says, "I have prepared for the disbelievers." "I have prepared" and "I have prepared" mean that it exists; He did not say "I will prepare," but said "I have prepared," which indicates that it exists. And the dead person is punished in his grave, and a door to the Fire is opened for him, which indicates that it exists. Even though this research has no benefit for us, people do not leave anything alone. Yes.
