Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it understood from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the one who died with a debt upon him, that his skin has not yet dried, that the deceased is punished in his grave because of the debt he owed?

Answer:
Yes, meaning he is distressed by it. Even if he is not punished with the Fire, he is distressed by the debt because it is a burden placed upon him that remains a burden. Yes.
