Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the deceased questioned immediately after burial, based on the hadith
For he is being questioned nowفانه الان يسال
, or is he questioned only after his companions have turned away from him and left, based on the hadith that he can hear?

Answer:
Does the questioning begin when the earth is placed over him and end when his burial is completed? Does the questioning begin when the burial is finished? Yes. It is known that when they finish burying him, they depart. Yes, it ends. Allah the Exalted knows best. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
