Chapter on the State of the Children of Polytheists and Disbelievers Who Pass Away
وَ رَوَى جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَوْلاَدِ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ يَمُوتُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغُوا اَلْحِنْثَ قَالَ "كُفَّارٌ وَ اَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ مَدَاخِلَ آبَائِهِمْ".
Ja'far ibn Bashir narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the children of polytheists who die before reaching the age of responsibility. Imam عليه السلام replied: "They are disbelievers, and Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows best what they would have done. They will enter the same places as their fathers."
