A question regarding the gates of Paradise and their names
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... is there any necessity for anyone?
The Shaykh : Yes, it means that entering through a single gate involves no necessity, hardship, or difficulty. For example, if a person is among those who fast, or among those who give charity, or among those who strive in the path of Allah, this means it is an easy matter. So, is it possible for anyone to be called from all the gates such that he is complete in all of these? Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : That is, five of them; four were specified by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the fifth is by implication, which is Hajj.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : A hadith ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, eight, but for whom are these eight? We know five of them, and we do not know who enters the remaining three. Yes.
