Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one who dies upon shirk (associating partners with Allah) abide eternally in the Fire, or does one who has committed shirk abide eternally in the Fire even if he has not died?
Answer:
As long as he is alive, repentance and return are hoped for from him. However, if he dies, the hope for his repentance is cut off, and he will abide eternally in the Fire.
