Is Allah’s (Mighty and Majestic) forbidding of Paradise to the disbeliever a legal ruling or a natural one?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. From the perspective that it is Allah (Mighty and Majestic) who legislated that the disbeliever does not enter Paradise, is it a legal prohibition that is contested by a legal claim and a claimant?

The Shaykh : The legal ruling is what pertains to the one who is accountable.

The questioner : What about His forbidding them entry into the land, O Shaykh, for the Children of Israel?

The Shaykh : Yes, that is a legal prohibition here. It may be said that it is a natural decree, and it is closer to being a natural decree because they were lost.
