I read that Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) held that the annihilation of the Fire is a Jahmi belief, so why is the view of the annihilation of the Fire attributed to him?

Question:
I read in the *Majmu' al-Fatawa* of Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), in volume eighteen, after page three hundred, that he stated regarding the annihilation of the Fire that it is the belief of the Jahmiyyah. The question is: why is the view of the annihilation of the Fire attributed to him? And is there another place where he explicitly states the opposite?

Answer:
The transmission of the Shaykh’s words varies, and there is no doubt about that. However, the correct view in his statement is that Paradise and the Fire are eternal. I believe he explicitly stated this in *al-Wasitiyyah*. In any case, even if the attribution to him is verified, it is undoubtedly an erroneous statement. He is known for the fact that if an error occurs, it is not accepted from him or from anyone else. Yes.
