Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Do the dead hear the salam when it is offered to them, and do they respond to it?

Answer:
Whether they hear it or not, offer the salam to them in accordance with the Sunnah, and do not ask whether they hear it or not. Do not occupy yourself with these matters. Yes.
