The Ruling on Declaring the Leaders of the Jews and Christians to Be in the Fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you for your good deeds. If someone hears about the death of a leader among the leaders of the Jews or the Christians and says, “He is in the Fire,” is there any harm in that?
Answer:
It appears that if his disbelief is known, but the specific individual is a matter of consideration. However, if his disbelief is known and he died as a Jew or died as a polytheist, he is denied [by Allah], just as we say about Abu Jahl and Asma’ that they are in the Fire. Whoever is known to have died in a state of disbelief, such as the Jews and Asma’, is among the people of the Fire. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
