The dead do not perform actions or engage in transactions

Fatwa number ( 16111 )
Q: Some trustworthy people told me that they witnessed a funeral for one of the Muslims when it was being taken from the house to the cemetery, and the coffin moved in a direction other than that of the bearers of the funeral and stopped them several times .
A : What the questioner mentioned regarding the funeral has no basis, and if anything of what was mentioned occurred, it is from the work of Satan to mislead people with it; because the dead do not perform actions or engage in transactions, rather this is from the works of
Satan to deceive people and mislead them from the path of Allah, so that they believe in this dead person that he benefits and harms, and they call upon him besides Allah, as happened to many of the children of Adam in calling upon the dead and worshipping graves, and there is no power nor strength except with Allah. So the result is that it is not permissible for a Muslim to believe in this Satanic work. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
