According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1257) all Muslims and other non Catholics need the baptism of water for salvation, since 'God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism'.
So they are oriented to Hell.
We do not know any exception in 2014 that is, when 'God is not bound to the Sacraments'.
.- Lionel Andrades
1257 The Lord himself affirms that Baptism is necessary for salvation. He also commands his disciples to proclaim the Gospel to all nations and to baptize them. Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament. The Church does not know of any means other than Baptism that assures entry into eternal beatitude; this is why she takes care not to neglect the mission she has received from the Lord to see that all who can be baptized are "reborn of water and the Spirit." God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism, but he himself is not bound by his sacraments.
