Questioner: And [the question] is, we have people who say that ‘Abdullaah, rather, the father of Muhammad ﷺ – he is [destined] for the Fire; And [there are] people who say no, rather he is [destined] for Paradise because he is the father of the Prophet. [Please] benefit us [with a response and] may Allaah reward you with good.
And am I sinful for [asking] this question, and if I am sinful, then is there any atonement [I am required to make]?
[Please] benefit us [with a response and] may Allaah reward you with good, and [may] you remain [in good].
Shaykh: Indeed, the father of the Prophet ﷺ died upon disbelief, and he is in the Fire, as is confirmed in the Saheeh[1] [of Imaam Muslim], that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allaah, where is my [deceased] father?
He replied:
«Your father is in the Fire».
So when he turned to leave, the Prophet ﷺ called him [back] and said to him:
«Indeed, my father and your father are [both] in the Fire».
Yes.
And this is the text of the hadeeth from the Prophet ﷺ.
Yes.
And based upon this, then the father of the Prophet ﷺ – just like other than him from the disbelievers – is in the Fire.
Yes.
Yes.
Translator’s note:
[1] Saheeh Muslim – Volume 1, Page 191, No.203:
Anas (radhi-yAllaahu ‘anhu) reported that a man said: “O Messenger of Allaah, where is my [deceased] father?” He said:
«Your father is in the Fire».
So when he turned to leave, the Prophet ﷺ called him [back] and said to him:
«Indeed, my father and your father are [both] in the Fire».
