Doubling of Traffic Violations and the Hadith of the One Whose Last Words Are La ilaha illa Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
O Shaykh, may Allah grant you well-being. Regarding these traffic violations that get doubled, I mean, for example, they get doubled twice, for example. You get a violation, for example, for three hundred riyals, and you find it after two days for six hundred riyals. What is its ruling, O Shaykh? This is the first question. The second question, O Shaykh, is if one’s last words…

The Shaykh:
Perfect.

The questioner:
La ilaha illa Allah. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, even if he did not pray or fast, and he was martyred while saying La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. This is the second question, and may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
As for the violations that are doubled, you can send the question about them to the Ifta Department so they can look into it. As for the second question

The presenter:
…of the one whose last words…

The Shaykh:
…are what?
If anyone's last words are "There is no god but Allah" he will enter Paradise.من كان آخر كلامه لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنة
Sunan Abi Dawud 3116Sahih (Al-Albani)
, this is an authentic hadith. If he said it believing in it and having faith in it, and it was his last words, he will enter Paradise; because this was his conclusion with good, his conclusion with sincere repentance. Yes.

The presenter:
Even if he was negligent in his prayer, as the questioner asked.

The Shaykh:
If he said it repenting, it is not just with the tongue, he said it repenting and believing in it. Yes.
