ANSWER:

This is not permissible. 

You don’t become a bridge over hellfire that others walk on while burning yourself.

Save yourself!

QUESTION: If a person commits a major sin and repents, thinking Allah will forgive him, but continues repenting until his heart feels at ease, only then believing Allah has forgiven him, this is not sinful nor kufr. Allah forgives immediately when one sincerely asks, but seeking forgiveness repeatedly for reassurance is permissible and encouraged?

QUESTION: I am confused regarding the hadith of Abu Hurairah in the hadith book Adab al-Mufrad, where he tells a man to avoid three actions in front of his father. So regarding not sitting before him, is a Muslim obliged to stand up when his father comes in to the room and he is sitting down or if they are both sitting and the father gets up for a reason like going to the bathroom?
