Description of the people of Hell

⦁ Whenever the dwellers of Hell-fire get thirsty and “...if they
ask for help (relief, water, etc.) They will be granted water like boiling
oil.”
Will this water benefit the person or will it grill the person’s
face when it is brought near him? Allah says further in the verse,
“...boiling oil that will scald their faces. Terrible the drink, and an evil
Murtafaqa (dwelling, resting place, etc.)!”
[Soorah al-Kahf (18): 29]
The person will hate to drink this water, but he will be forced
to sip it; he will refuse until the angel strikes him with an iron bar.
The person will hate to swallow it because of its awful taste, color
and unbearable heat or coldness. And because of this drink his
organs, limbs and entire body will suffer pain as Allah says in
Soorah Ibraheem (14): 16-17, “...he will be made to drink boiling,
festering water. He will sip it unwillingly, and he will find great
difficulty to swallow it down his throat, and death will come to him
from every side, yet he will not die.”
