The questioner:
Is it permissible to designate a specific disbeliever who dies as being in the Fire?
The Shaykh:
Disbelievers who died upon disbelief are in the Fire in general. As for individuals, Allah knows best. We do not rule about anyone except with evidence. Perhaps he is rewarded before he dies, and you do not know or realize it. Yes.
The questioner:
You say: I am studying.
The Shaykh:
Disbelievers who died upon disbelief are in the Fire, and polytheists are in the Fire in general. As for individuals, you anticipate what you do not know regarding their final state.
