Question:
How do you reconcile His saying, Exalted is He,[An-Nisa 4:48], with His saying, Exalted is He, [An-Nisa 4:93], the verse, since both are threatened with eternal abode in the Fire?
Answer:
That is, but the abode varies: is it an eternal abode, or an abode that implies a long duration of punishment, where one does not remain eternally or forever in the Fire? Yes. The eternal abode of the murderer is not eternal. For this reason, it did not say “forever abiding therein” and it did not say “forever.” Yes.
