Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-‘Uthaymeen [May
Allaah have Mercy on him] was asked:
Question: The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] said, “When Ramadhaan comes, the doors of Jannah opened and the doors of Jahannam are locked.” [Narrated by Muslim (1079)] Does this means that those who die in Ramadhaan will automatically be admitted into Jannah?
Question: The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] said, “When Ramadhaan comes, the doors of Jannah opened and the doors of Jahannam are locked.” [Narrated by Muslim (1079)] Does this means that those who die in Ramadhaan will automatically be admitted into Jannah?
Answer: This is not how it
is, rather the meaning of the saying that the doors of Jannah will be made open
is to encourage us to increase in good deeds so that we may be of those who
enter through them.
The fact that the doors of
the Hellfire are locked is sufficient for the people of Eemaan to be warded off
from disobeying Allaah, until he is safe from entering from these doors.
So the meaning is not how
the questioner thinks, that those who die in Ramadhaan will enter into Jannah
automatically without account, rather those who will enter Jannah without
account are those the Messenger of Allaah [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be
Upon him] said,“Those who do not seek to have Ruqya done upon them, those who
do not believe in bad omens, those who have full reliance in their
Lord.”[Narrated by Bukhaaree (5795) and Muslim (218)]
These are those who made it
upon themselves to do good and righteous deeds.
[Fiqh al-‘Ibaadah Pg. 210 (Question 153)]
