The Ruling on Questioning the Disbeliever in the Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He asks: Is the disbeliever questioned in his grave?
The Shaykh:
Nothing has been reported regarding him in that regard because he is a disbeliever. How can he be questioned when he is a disbeliever? Only the believer is questioned; the believer is tested, and the hypocrite who resembles the believers in this world is tested. Allah the Exalted said:[Ibrahim 14:27]
The questioner:
What came in the hadith of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib is that the one who is unable [to answer] is questioned in his grave.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The hadith of al-Bara' is about the one who is unable. As for the defective servant or the hypocrite, if he is facing this world or facing the Hereafter.
The Shaykh:
I do not know, but he is a disbeliever. How can he be tested when he is a disbeliever? He did not believe in the Messenger originally, nor did he believe in the messengers originally. How can he be tested?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
