Question: Will the people who commit major sins from the Ummah of Muhammad take their books in their right hand?
Answer: “That which is apparent is that those who will be saved from the Hell-fire from them will take their books in their right hand even if they are the people who committed major sins. They are in varying levels. The one who will enter the Hell-fire will take his book in his left hand temporarily. This is what is apparent. Until he is purified and goes to Jannah”.
Questioner: Therefore, they will take the book before entering they enter the Hell-fire and they will enter the Hell-fire with their book?
Shaikh: “With his book in his left hand. Yes”.
Questioner: Is there any speech from the People of Knowledge on this?
Shaikh: “I do not know”.
