Is it permissible for a Muslim to wish for death on the Day of Resurrection before the Angel of Death is slaughtered, even if that is in exchange for the delights of Paradise?
The question is unclear, and there is no evidence that the Angel of Death will be slaughtered; rather, it is known that he will die. Perhaps the questioner heard about the slaughter of Death on the Day of Judgment, where Death will be brought in the form of a black-and-white ram and slaughtered between Paradise and Hell. It will then be announced to the people of Paradise: "Eternity without death!" and to the people of Hell: "Eternity without death!" As for the people of Paradise wishing for death after entering Paradise and before its slaughter, this will not happen, because they will not die and will not wish to depart from it; rather, they will abide therein eternally.
