The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is one who kills himself washed, shrouded, and prayed over? And is his abode in the Fire eternal, or does it have a limit?
The Shaykh:
One who kills himself is among those threatened, among those threatened, and he does not become a disbeliever on account of it, but rather he is one who has committed a major sin among the major sins, and he is threatened with the Fire, but he will not abide in it. Only disbelievers abide in the Fire. As for the sinners among the believers, if they enter it, they will not abide in it, and among them is the one who kills himself. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the matter of ruling that a specific person will enter Paradise?
The Shaykh:
And one who kills himself is not left without being prayed over, but the people of virtue, such as the imam or the deputy of the imam, the people of virtue do not pray over him, but the rest of the Muslims pray over him. Yes.
