If one is compelled to undergo cauterization, does he fall out of the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment?

The questioner:
Her second-to-last question says: Of the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning, who do not undergo cauterization, what should a believer do if cauterization is necessary for him due to an illness? And if he undergoes cauterization while relying on Allah, does he remain among the seventy thousand who enter Paradise?

The Shaykh:
Cauterization is permissible, and it is a type of treatment, so it is permissible and there is no harm in it. However, it is better to leave it because of the torture involved with fire. So it is better to leave it, but if he does it, he has done a permissible thing with no harm. Leaving it is part of complete reliance, complete reliance on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), because the near ones are those who leave the forbidden, the disliked, and some of the permissible things. They leave the forbidden, the disliked, and some of the permissible things out of scrupulousness, and they do the obligatory things and do the recommended things. These are the near ones. Leaving cauterization is part of this, part of leaving the disliked things. Yes.

The questioner:
She says: And if he does it while relying on Allah, does he remain among the seventy thousand? If he does cauterization.

The Shaykh:
That he will not be among the path; because he will not be among the near ones. He may be among the righteous, or he may be among those below them; because the Muslims are in levels: the near ones, the righteous, and then the rest of the Muslims.
