The Ruling on a Specific Jew or Christian After Their Death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The presenter says: The questioner asks, is it permissible to rule that a specific Jew or Christian is among the people of the Fire when they die? Is it permissible to rule that a specific Jew or Christian is among the people of the Fire when they die?
The Shaykh:
Allah has not tasked you with this. You do not know the unseen. Perhaps he repented before his death. So you do not rule that a specific person is in the Fire or in Paradise except with evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. As for one who is not specific, we hope for the doer of good and fear for the doer of evil, and we do not assert for anyone Paradise or Fire except for those whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testified to. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
And otherwise, you do not look into these matters. Yes.
