Question:
If a person dies by drowning, being eaten by wild beasts, or burning, is he reckoned with in the same way as the one buried in the grave? That is, is he questioned about the three fundamental principles?
Answer:
Yes, what happens in the grave happens to him, whether he is in the belly of a wild beast or a bird, or in the sea, or on land. Everyone who dies is in the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection); he is in the barzakh between this world and the Hereafter, whether he is buried or not. And what is specific to the grave comes to him wherever he is[Al-Baqarah 2:284]. Yes.
