Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 3164 ):
Q1: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Maryam 19:71-72] the verse?
A1: Allah the Exalted makes it clear to His servants that no one among people—whether righteous or wicked—will pass over the Sirat stretched across the back of Hellfire, and that
this passing is something Allah the Exalted has known, decreed, and obligated upon Himself; out of His justice, wisdom, grace, and mercy. It is thus a decree that is binding, from which there is no escape and no way out. Then Allah saves from the punishment of the Fire those who feared Him during their worldly life, doing what Allah commanded them of obedience and avoiding what He forbade them of sins and evil deeds. And He leaves the wrongdoers in Hellfire, piled up as corpses, as a just recompense for their disbelief in the signs of Allah and their mockery of them.
