The Fate of the One Whose Sins Outweigh His Good Deeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that if a person’s sins outweigh his good deeds, this prevents him from entering Paradise. Does this make him a disbeliever who remains in the Fire forever, or will he be punished and then taken out of it into Paradise?
The Shaykh:
How can he come out of it if his sins outweigh his good deeds? What is it that will get him into Paradise then?
