Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are those who say that the ones who come out of the Fire, having never done any good, were capable of doing good but did not do it; however, they claimed

Answer:
that they were capable of doing good. How does he know about this? The hadith is understood to mean that they said it and died immediately, so they were not given the opportunity to act. But if they were capable and left off the action by choice, then nothing will benefit them. Is the matter about the utterance or about the belief? Action is necessary. Action is necessary. And how does the one who says this know that they are capable of acting? This is the statement of one who does not understand. Yes.
