The ruling on a specific person who died in a state of disbelief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this person says: If we increase in knowledge, do we say that he is a disbeliever, whether this teacher’s disbelief is like the deafness of disbelief as they say regarding the Christians, or is he an apostate?
Answer:
We say: People look at the state of disbelief, so he is in the Fire, and whoever dies upon faith is in Paradise. We say this. As for individuals and specific persons, Allah knows best about them. But the general rule is that whoever dies upon disbelief is in the Fire, and whoever dies upon faith is in Paradise. This is the principle. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
