What is your opinion of the one who says: The Fire of Hell exists on this earth on which we live?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Who among the scholars said that the Fire of Hell exists on this earth on which we live and made it part of the matters of faith? Because the apparent meanings of the Qur'anic and Prophetic texts indicate that, such as the saying of Allah the Exalted:
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen. كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
[Al-Mutaffifin 83:7]
and His saying:
the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them لا تفتح لهم أبواب السماء
[Al-A'raf 7:40]
and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Write the record of My servant in Sijjin and return it to the lower earth اكتبوا كتاب عبدي في سجين وأعيدوه إلى الأرض السفلى
Shall I read the question?

The Shaykh : I understood the question, but what is the last verse you read that they use as evidence that Hell is on the earth?

The questioner : Yes, they mentioned two verses: the saying of Allah the Exalted:
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen. كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
[Al-Mutaffifin 83:7]
and the saying of Allah the Exalted:
the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them لا تفتح لهم أبواب السماء
[Al-A'raf 7:40]


The Shaykh: Okay

The questioner : Yes, and the hadith is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Write the record of My servant in Sijjin and return it to the lower earth اكتبوا كتاب عبدي في سجين وأعيدوه إلى الأرض السفلى
.

The Shaykh : Yes, okay, "return it to the lower earth" means Hell?

The questioner : By "the lower earth," they mean this earth, meaning the earth of this world.

The Shaykh : No, you did not answer me.

The questioner : To Hell, yes.

The Shaykh : Meaning the soul is returned to Hell?

The questioner : Yes, they use it as evidence...

The Shaykh : Take it and give it to me, may Allah reward you. I understood the argument, I understood the argument. The text of the hadith again?

The questioner :
Write the record of My servant in Sijjin and return it to the lower earth اكتبوا كتاب عبدي في سجين وأعيدوه إلى الأرض السفلى
.

The Shaykh : The servant referred to here: is the one who was alive and then died, or what is meant by it?
