Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Did Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) hold the view that the Fire will cease to exist? What is the belief of the People of the Sunnah regarding Paradise and the Fire? Will they cease to exist?
Answer:
I see that this issue should not be raised. This is one of the superfluous issues that offers no benefit to people. I see that it should not be raised or investigated; it should be left alone and die out, just as other anomalous issues have died out.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
