What is the ruling on the fate of those who worship Christ and Ali, given the noble verse which decrees that polytheists and what they worship will be in the Fire?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The noble verse: (Indeed, you and what you worship other than Allah are fuel for Hell. You will enter it) does not include all who are worshipped besides Allah, for two reasons:
1. The verse refers to idols and effigies, as the word (مَا - what) in the verse denotes inanimate objects or non-intellectual beings, which excludes Jesus, Ezra, and the angels.
2. There is an exceptional verse: (Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has already been decreed from Us - those will be removed far from it), and this includes Jesus son of Mary, the angels, and everyone who was worshipped while being displeased with their worship.
