The death of the people of Hell
Question

                Will anyone die in Hell? Is there any
      saheeh hadeeth to that effect or not? If it is true, then what is the nature of this
      death, and to whom will it happen?
Praise be to Allah.It was reported in Saheeh Muslim that Abu
    Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah
    (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘As for the people of Hell, they
    are its inhabitants, and they neither live therein nor die. But there are people who will
    enter Hell because of their sins – or mistakes – so Allaah will cause them to
    die once, then when they become like coal, He will give permission for intercession (for
    them). They will be brought group by group to the rivers of Paradise. Then it will be
    said: “O people of Paradise! Pour water on them.” Then they will grow like seeds
    (i.e., the seeds of herbs and aromatic plants, or it was said, small plants that grow in
    between grasses, or it may mean wheat).’”
The scholars said: “What is meant by the people of Hell are its
    kaafir inhabitants, who will never come out of it and never die at all.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allaah), for them
    will be the Fire of Hell. Neither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that
    they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every
    disbeliever!” [Faatir 35:36]
As for the sinners among those who believe in the Oneness of
    Allaah, those who have committed major sins (kabaa’ir), they will be punished
    in accordance with the degree of their sins for a period decreed by Allaah, then they will
    die a lesser death such that they no longer feel anything, for a period decreed by Allaah.
    Then they will be brought out dead, turned into coals and carried like luggage, and they
    will be thrown into the rivers of Paradise and the water of life will be poured over them.
    Then they will grow, like wheat at first, but quickly, like herbs. Then they will get
    stronger and be fully formed, and will be taken to their homes in Paradise. And Allaah
    knows best.
