Is there a difference between the texts prohibiting Paradise and the texts affirming entry into the Fire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The difference between the texts that deny entry into Paradise and those that affirm entry into the Fire for sins that do not necessitate eternal abode, such as killing?

The Shaykh : As you heard, entry is, for example, absolute entry and absolute entry, and likewise prohibition: absolute prohibition and absolute prohibition.

The questioner : For example, the prohibition of the Fire upon one who kills...

The Shaykh : The prohibition of the Fire upon one who kills? How is the prohibition of the Fire upon one who kills, or Paradise?

The questioner : The punishment

The Shaykh :
his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternallyفجزاؤه جهنم خالداً فيها
[An-Nisa 4:93]


The questioner : Yes

The Shaykh : Very well.

The questioner : Is this like
Paradise is forbidden upon him الجنة عليه حرام
?

The Shaykh : We might say this is like it, or we might say it is more severe, because it came in the hadith:
remains at liberty regarding his religion unless he kills somebody unlawfullyلا يزال الرجل في فسحة من دينه ما لم يصب دمًا حرامًا
Sahih al-Bukhari 6862
This indicates that the one who intentionally kills a believer is to be feared for a bad ending, such that he dies upon disbelief.
