Will the bodies of those who enter the Fire and then enter Paradise become larger, or will their bodies become like those of the people of Paradise?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One more step ahead. In the name of Allah.
The Shaykh : No, those whose bodies are destroyed are the people of the Fire, who are its permanent inhabitants. As for these others, Allah knows best whether they will be in the state of the people of Paradise, because they will be among the people of Paradise. Allah knows best, my brothers. There is no need to ask about this; asking about such things is a form of excessive strictness. What concern is it to us if He wills that his body be larger than a mountain or like an atom? The important thing is that he enters the Fire and comes out of it. I do not see any benefit in his body unless it is mentioned in a hadith, such as the eye and the head, or if there are contradictory hadiths, in which case there is no harm.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. In al-Fath, and Muslim reached Abu Sa'id and added: "They will call upon Allah, and He will remove this name from them."
The Shaykh : Yes, well, so this is evidence that in the end they will complain of it and it will be removed from them. Yes.
