The Establishment of Intercession for Abu Lahab

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: Is it established that intercession was granted to the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) uncle, Abu Lahab?

Answer:
No. This is specific to Abu Talib, and the intercession is not for his removal from the Fire. What benefits him is the intercession of al-Sha’fi, but only in the alleviation of his punishment.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
