Ruling on those who are not reached by the call of Islam
Question: 10134
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
he best scholarly opinion concerning this type of people is that they will be put to the test on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever obeys will enter Paradise and whoever disobeys will enter Hell, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)” [al-Israa’ 17:15]
