Question:
Do we testify for a specific believer, if he is known for righteousness, knowledge, and piety, that he is among the people of Paradise, and likewise for one who dies while a disbeliever, do we say of him specifically that he is eternally abiding in the Fire?
Answer:
It appears that this questioner is attending for the first time. We have repeated this and said that one does not testify for a specific person regarding Paradise or the Fire, except for those for whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testified. He is the one who testifies that a person is among the people of Paradise or among the people of the Fire. But we hope for the doer of good and we fear for the doer of evil. This is mentioned in the books of creed. May the questioner read in al-Wasitiyyah or in other works. Yes.
