Who are the people among the Muslim community who committed major sins and will enter through the seventh gate of Hell, according to Jibreel's description to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The people of major sins are those who commit great transgressions such as drinking alcohol and committing adultery. The circulating hadith about the dialogue between Gabriel and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his saying: "In it are the people of major sins from your Ummah who died and did not repent" is weak and unauthentic. The book "Tanbih al-Ghafilin" which mentions it contains many fabricated hadiths. Also, the hadith about the people of major sins entering Hell through the first gate is very weak and unauthentic.
