Yes, it is not an absolute statement that Allah does not punish one who does not associate anything with Him; He may punish him for his sins, He may punish him for his sins, to the extent of his sins, and then He will admit him into Paradise, due to the arrival of hadiths and verses regarding this.
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills

The Shaykh:
The evidence refers to one another, and they are brought together. One does not take one side and leave the other side. This requires knowledge, jurisprudence, and insight.
