Will Sinners Be Released from Hell All at Once?
Question
Every sinner (fasiq) who enters Hell, after receiving the punishment for what he did, will be released through the intercession (shafa‘a) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, be freed from Hell and enter Paradise. What is meant to be asked here is: will all the sinners come out of Hell through intercession at one and the same time?
Answer
They will not all be released together — so much so that the person who will be taken out of Hell last of all is mentioned in a hadith.
