The Ruling on One Who Kills Himself and His Abode in the Fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is reported in a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever kills himself will be eternally abiding in the Fire. Is he considered a disbeliever because of that?
Answer:
No, being eternally abiding in the Fire is not eternal abode. Rather, his punishment in the Fire will be prolonged, and then he will come out of it. A believer does not remain in the Fire, nor does he abide in it eternally, even if he is punished in it, and even if his punishment in it is prolonged, he will not abide in the Fire eternally. His faith is by which Allah will bring him out of the Fire, even if his punishment is prolonged. Yes.
