Summary
It is prohibited to state definitively that a particular person has entered paradise, whether in speech or in A.I-generated imagery. Deciding who enters paradise belongs solely to Allah, and humans have no certain knowledge of it, except for those named by Allah and His Messenger, such as the ten companions promised paradise. The best course is to donate the reward of good deeds and pray that the deceased be placed among the people of paradise.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kita dilarang untuk menyatakan seseorang itu masuk ke dalam syurga secara pasti, sama ada dari sudut ucapan dan gambaran melalui Artificial Intelligence (A.I).
