Question:
Some people say: that al-Khidr (peace be upon him) is still alive to this day because he drank from the water of life, even though Allah (Mighty and Majestic) addressed His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with His words in Surat al-Anbiya: [Al-Anbiya:34] the verse. Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The correct view is: that he died a long time ago before the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the truth: he has died and is not alive. And [Al-'Ankabut:57]... And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed in the last of his life So if he was present at that time, he has died, after the passage of one hundred years, even though the correct view is that he died before that. Yes.
