Combining the eternal abode of the killer in the Fire with the non-eternal abode of the Muslim

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do you reconcile the saying of the Exalted and Majestic,
But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternallyوَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا
[An-Nisa 4:93]
, with the fact that no one who is a Muslim will abide in the Fire eternally?

Answer:
Eternal abode is of two types: temporary eternal abode and permanent eternal abode forever. So the killer abides in a temporary eternal abode, not a permanent one. Yes.
