Is It Impermissible to Say that the Jews and Christians will go to the Hellfire?

Shaykh Mūsá Richardson

Is it arrogant to say: “The Jews and the Christians are in the Hellfire?” What about those who say “Only Allāh can judge (i.e. don’t declare them disbelievers)”. Allāh says in the Qurʾān: Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Quran and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures. [Sūrah al-Bayyinah, 98:6]
