Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell
are closed and the devils are chained up." Does this mean that the one
who dies in Ramadanwill enter Paradise without being brought to
account?.
Praise be to Allaah.
That is not the case. Rather what this means isthat the gates of
Paradise are opened to encourage people to strive hard, so that they
can enter it, andthat the gates of Hell are closed, so as to
encouragethe believers to refrain from sin, so that they will not go
through these gates. That does not mean that the one who dies in
Ramadan will enter Paradise without being brought to account;rather
those who will enter Paradise without being brought to account are
those whom the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
described when he said: "They are the ones who do not ask others to
perform ruqyah for them, or believe in omens, or use cautery, and they
put their trust in their Lord", in addition to their doing the
righteous deeds that are enjoined upon them. End quote.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy onhim).
