The answer

Abu Talib, the Prophet's uncle, is among the inhabitants of Hellfire due to his death in disbelief. The same applies to Aminah, the Prophet's mother, based on the : "I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for my mother, but He did not permit me," and His saying: "Your mother is in the Hellfire," and the hadith: "Indeed, my father and your father are in the Hellfire." As for Abd al-Muttalib, a hadith was narrated concerning him: "If you had reached them, you would not have seen Paradise until your great-grandfather sees it," but this is a weak hadith. Some scholars are of the view that he is among the people of the fatrah (interval), to whom the call of Islam did not reach.
