What about one who intends disbelief at the time of death because he will no longer be held accountable?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Whoever intends disbelief in the future disbelieves immediately, because the resolve to disbelieve is disbelief. So, whoever intends disbelief at the time of death is a disbeliever. A Muslim's deeds are judged by their endings, and what a Muslim most desires is a good ending. Whoever disbelieves at the time of their death has ended in apostasy, and they will abide eternally in Hellfire, due to the Almighty's saying: "Nor those who die while they are disbelievers. For those We have prepared a painful punishment."
