Question:
Is it true that the souls of the deceased are at their graves on Friday and its night?

Answer:
Allah knows best about that; it is knowledge that only Allah knows. As far as I know, no evidence has been established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. This is among the matters of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection), where one must withhold judgment until there is sound evidence from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
