Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the definition of death? And is it the departure of the soul?
Answer:
Death is death; it is not explained by anything other than this: the complete separation of the spirit from the body. This is death. As for its separation from the body in a state of fainting or in a state of sleep, that is not a complete separation, for there is still a connection between them. Yes.
