Question:
This questioner asks: Is it permissible for a man to say to a buried person, "I wish I were in your place"?
Answer:
This is not permissible. However, in the end times, when trials become severe, a person may wish that he had been buried and it was over, even though we dislike death and are averse to it. But in the end times, when trials become severe, death becomes a wish that a person desires. This is due to the intensity of the terror and the severity of the hardships a person sees, and he wants to be rid of them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
