Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I studied in the al-Tahawi creed that the Sirat is a path or a bridge over Hellfire, over which people pass according to their deeds, and some of them fall from the Sirat into the Fire. He says: This is confusing to me in light of His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Haqqah 69:30-31]
Answer:
Yes, this person, after being seized and shackled, also passes over the Sirat and falls into Hellfire. There is no impediment to this; the punishments are multiplied upon him, may Allah protect us from that.
