Punishment for suicide
Q: "Indeed, whoever (intentionally) kills himself, then certainly he will be punished in the Fire of Hell, wherein he shall dwell forever", [Bukhaaree (5778) and Muslim (109 and 110).
Please enlighten me if the person who killed him or her self and is a muslim. Would they remain in hell for ever is this what this hadith means.What I heard if any person has a small bit of imaan they eventually will go to jannah. Please explain this in detail please.
A: The period is known best by Allah Ta`ala. However, it is the belief of the Ahlus-Sunnah that a Muslim will eventually be sent to Jannah. However, this period of him being detained in Jahannum is not known, whether it will be for a billion years or trillion years.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
