Is eternal abode in the Fire specific to disbelievers, or does it include one who died in sin and did not repent from it?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is eternal abode in the Fire specific to one who disbelieved and associated others with Allah, or does it include one who died in sin and did not repent from it, even if it was a minor sin?

Answer:
The position of the people of the Sunnah and the community, as you have studied in the creed, is that those who remain in the Fire eternally are the disbelievers, the polytheists, and the hypocrites who commit major hypocrisy. As for the people of sins that are less than shirk (associating partners with Allah), they are under the will of Allah: if Allah wills, He forgives them, and if He wills, He punishes them for them. But they do not remain in the Fire eternally; the people of major sins among the believers will come out of the Fire, even if they are punished in the Fire, they will come out of it and not remain in it eternally.
As for minor sins, Allah the Exalted expiates them through many expiations. The five daily prayers are expiations. From Friday to Friday is an expiation. From Ramadan to Ramadan is an expiation. So Allah the Exalted expiates minor sins through expiations, or He pardons them, Blessed and Exalted is He.
