The Position of the People of the Sunnah Regarding the One Who Commits a Major Sin in the Hereafter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if you would explain to us the position of the people of the Sunnah regarding the one who commits a major sin in the hereafter, along with their evidence, and where did the statement we made go?
Answer:
We said: The one who commits a major sin in the hereafter is under the will of Allah. If Allah wills, He forgives him, and if He wills, He punishes him, and his ultimate destination is Paradise thereafter. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:48] and the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will say on the Day of Resurrection: Mishkat al-Masabih 5573. Abu Dharr said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6268. Abu Dharr said: O Messenger of Allah, even if he committed zina and even if he stole? He said: Even if he committed zina and even if he stole. He said: O Messenger of Allah, the third time. Sahih al-Bukhari 1237 and despite the nose of Abu Dharr.
So Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to narrate this hadith after the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and say: and despite the nose of Abu Dharr. Yes.

We said: The one who commits a major sin in the hereafter is under the will of Allah. If Allah wills, He forgives him, and if He wills, He punishes him, and his ultimate destination is Paradise thereafter. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُTake them out of the Fire
أخرجوا من النارthose in whose hearts there is as much faith as the smallest smallest, smallest grain of mustard-seed
من في قلبه أدنى أدنى مثقال حبة من خردل من إيمانI said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?" He said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft."
يا رسول الله، وإن زنى وإن سرق؟ قال وإن زنى وإن سرقI asked, "Even if he committed illegal sexual intercourse (adultery) and theft?" He replied, "Even if he committed illegal sexual intercourse (adultery) and theft."
وان زنى وان سرق. قال وان زنى وان سرقSo Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to narrate this hadith after the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and say: and despite the nose of Abu Dharr. Yes.
