Does the punishment fall upon the soul or upon the body?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Huh? Huh?
The questioner : What do we say, that the punishment is upon the soul, and the bliss is upon the soul?
The Shaykh : No, no.
The questioner : ... upon the soul.
The Shaykh : No, we say that it is upon the soul in the first place, but the body is affected by it as a consequence. That is, in this world, it is the reverse: in this world, the punishment is upon the body, and the soul suffers because of it. In the Hereafter, it is the opposite. Some scholars from the people of the Sunnah say that the punishment is not upon the body alone, nor upon the soul alone, but upon the body alone.
