I have spent a lot of time studying the theory of hell in Islam, and this is my final conclusion on the matter of hell being eternal or not .
This opinion was built on a verse in the Quran, it's called "the exceptional verse". In the language of the Quran, the exception is when god attaches something to his will.
Verse :
"But the miserable ones/ the tired ones, are in hell, to them in it an exhalation & inhalation () dwelling in it as long as the earth & the skies last, except what god have wished, god does what he wants "
This part in red, attaches the eternal punishment to god's will. The blue part then is what made this idea clearer. The next verse explains why this idea does prove itself to be true ; that hell isn't eternal :
"But the ones who are happy , are in heaven, dwelling it as long as the earth & the skies last, except what god have wished, unstoppable bestowal".
In here, the blue part proves that the wish of god for the people of heaven is "unstoppable bestowal". While with the people of hell, it was "god does what he wants".
This verse eliminates any theory which states that hell is eternal, but more likely stops at the will of god, without any promises of salvation or damnation.
