Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah inform you, has anything been reported regarding the Muslim whom Allah decrees to enter the Fire, concerning how he borrows his book, or is it silent on this matter so that we remain silent?
Answer:
He may receive his book in his right hand, but it may be written upon it that he will be punished for major sins he committed, and he is among the people of faith, and he took his scroll in his right hand, but his ultimate destination is Paradise,[Al-A'raf 7:8], so the believer’s ultimate destination is Paradise, even if he is punished in the Fire. Yes.
