Does the deceased hear the sound of sandals and the visits of his relatives?

Question:
He asks: Is there a report that the deceased hears those who come to visit him at the grave?

Answer:
It may be so, but Allah knows best. These are matters concerning the dead, and we do not speak of them except with evidence, because this is part of the unseen. We do not speak except with evidence. It is reported in the hadith that when he is buried and they leave, when they leave after his burial, this indicates that the deceased sometimes hears, sometimes he hears. Likewise, he may know about the visitor who greets him and he is pleased by it. These are matters of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) that no one knows except Allah, according to what comes in the authentic hadiths. Yes.
