Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do you reconcile the saying of the Exalted,
But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternallyوَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا
[An-Nisa 4:93]
, with the fact that no Muslim will remain in the Fire forever?

Answer:
It is a temporary eternity, not a permanent one. So the killer remains in the Fire temporarily, not permanently. Yes.
