Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: If a disbeliever dies, is it permissible to rule that he is in the Fire? And may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Disbelievers are in the Fire in general, but regarding a specific individual, we do not know how his end was sealed. Did he repent or did he not? Therefore, we do not know. We say that in our view, he is among the people of the Fire in our view, but with Allah, perhaps he repented before he died. Yes.
