Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: I have a difficulty regarding the people of the period of interruption. Did the call of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) reach them, since they are considered not to be excused, or will they be tested on the Day of Resurrection? I ask for clarification.
Answer:
Their matter is left to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Those to whom the call of a prophet from among the prophets did not reach are the people of the period of interruption. Those to whom the call of a prophet from among the prophets did not reach, and who remained as their mothers bore them, are the people of the period of interruption. As for those to whom the call of a prophet reached, the argument has been established against them, so they are not considered people of the period of interruption.
