Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
English Translation:
“Paradise is forbidden”—that is, entry into Paradise at the very outset is forbidden for such a person, because this is a crime for which punishment is certain; therefore, he will not be able to enter Paradise among the first. This does not mean that he will never enter Paradise, because even in the case of killing a believer, such a statement cannot be made. The clear texts of the Shari‘ah explicitly indicate that whoever commits any major sin (kabirah), he will not remain in Hell forever; ultimately, he will certainly enter Paradise, provided he is one who professes the kalimah and is a monotheist (muwahhid). Killing is also a major sin (kabirah). A detailed discussion has already passed under Hadith number 4004. (For the discussion on the killing of a dhimmi, see: Fawa’id wa Masa’il Hadith: 4738)

(Mu'ahid) (with a fatha on the "ha")—that is, a person who, while being a disbeliever, resides within the Islamic government and pays taxes, etc. Such a person is called a dhimmi and a mu'ahid.
➋
Regarding those who commit major sins, the ahadith state that Paradise is forbidden for them, or that they will not enter Paradise. The meaning of this is that such a Muslim will not be among the first people to enter Paradise; rather, after undergoing punishment, he will enter Paradise. "Except as Allah wills" does not mean that he will never enter Paradise, because Allah has promised that the people of tawhid will enter Paradise.
