Will sinners and disbelievers also be in burzakh?
Question
When we die, we know that we wait in burzakh. Do people who sin and reject Islam also wait here. Are we punished here?
Answer
Disbelievers will not be in the same place that believers will be. They will be in a place of punishment and torment.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
