Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. I heard one of the scholars say that the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 203 is weak because it contradicts the clear text of the Book. Is this correct?
Answer:
And what is this clear text of the Book? The clear text of the Book is that whoever dies upon shirk (associating partners with Allah) is in the Fire[At-Tawbah 9:113] and the one who dies upon shirk will rise in the Fire. Yes.
He says: May Allah reward you. I heard one of the scholars say that the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Verily my father and your father are in the Fire.
إن أبي وأباك في النارAnswer:

It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire.
مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَىٰ مِن بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ
