Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is it correct that Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) used to hold the view that the Fire will cease to exist?
Answer:
O brothers, leave the digging into these matters and the anomalies; leave them alone. What you have from Shaykh al-Islam in his great stations, his support of the truth, his defense against falsehood, and his renewal of this religion is sufficient for you. You are digging into things about which Allah knows best; leave them. Yes.
