The Ruling on the Intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the People of Major Sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the people of major sins who died while persisting in them, or for those who committed major sins and repented from them before death?
Answer:
As for those who repented from them, their sins are erased; Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) forgives them, and they do not need intercession. Rather, this is for those who died without repenting, and these major sins are less than shirk (associating partners with Allah). These are the ones who need intercession. Yes.
