Does Allah test the disbelievers in the Hereafter if the message did not reach them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, these are disbelievers. These disbelievers, no.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, these are disbelievers, but due to their excuse that the message did not reach them, Allah will test them on the Day of Resurrection with whatever He wills of the types of obligations. Then, if they are guided at that time, they are among the people of Paradise, and if they go astray, they are among the people of the Fire. This is the most correct of what has been said in answering regarding these people, meaning the people of the period of ignorance (ahl al-fatra) and those to whom the message came but did not reach them. The correct view is that they are tested on the Day of Resurrection with whatever obligations Allah wills, which we do not know, and then... they are saved, or otherwise...
