The Ruling on Specifying the Location of Hellfire and Paradise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These two guides did not originally say that the issue of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding Hellfire is that it is pure and exists for the verse, and that its location is in the earth, which is not obligatory in its interior. If this is correct, I hope the questioner will read it. If he does not say so, then it is not correct.
Answer:
Allah knows best. These are matters we do not know from the knowledge of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah. However, we believe that Hellfire exists now and has been created, and that Paradise exists now and has been created. As for saying that Hellfire is in such-and-such a place or in such-and-such a location, that requires evidence. Yes, Allah knows best.
