The Ruling on the Children of Muslims and Polytheists Who Die

Question:
And the Shaykh’s clarification of what the punishment is for the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the heroes who die without being taught by the heroes of the Muslims and the polytheists?

Answer:
As for the children of Muslims, their ruling is the ruling of Muslims, and therefore they are prayed for and supplication is made for them and their fathers. So their ruling is the ruling of Muslims in this world and the Hereafter. As for the children of polytheists, there is a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding them, and the stronger of the opinions is likely that they will be tested on the Day of Resurrection. If a Messenger is sent to them or someone calls them to Allah, and they respond, they will become Muslims and enter Paradise. If they refuse except to remain upon what their fathers were upon, they will be among the people of the Fire.
