Question:
May Allah grant you peace. Does the deceased hear the salam of those who come to visit?
Answer:
What is established regarding this matter is only from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is established that when someone greets him, his soul is returned to him so that he may return the greeting. As for anything else, nothing is established regarding this matter. Although Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned in his *Majmu' al-Fatawa* something about the dead hearing, it requires evidence. It requires evidence. And we said that the rule in this matter is that we only establish things regarding the grave with valid evidence. As for mere statements by some scholars or the like, it requires evidence, even if it was said by a prominent scholar.
