The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it correct to say that whoever builds a mosque is among the people of Paradise, because he must enter Paradise to dwell in his house?
The Shaykh:
One does not testify for a specific person that he is in Paradise; one does not testify for a specific person that he is in Paradise except with evidence. However, to say that it is hoped for the one who builds mosques that a house will be built for him in Paradise, this is as came in the hadith.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
So-and-so has a house in Paradise because he built a mosque; you do not assert this with certainty. You say, “I hope for him such and such.” Yes.
