Intercession
Question
A shahid that died before puberty walks straight to jannat, so then how does that person intercede for the allowed 70 people to be interceded on their behalf?
Answer
There is no contradiction between the both i.e. Being entered into Paradise and interceding for people. Just as it is possible for a person living in South Africa to intercede on behalf of someone who is living in America.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
