Question

I had a question about hadrat kizar (Alayhis Salaaam) that if he is still alive? Will he live till qiyaamah? And if he is not still alive then when did he pass away?

Answer

With regard to Khidr (Alaihis Salaam) there are two opinions. The preferred opinion is that he is a Nabi.
There are two opinions regarding him being alive.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
