The Sensation of the Dead Toward Those Who Visit Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do the dead in their graves sense those who greet them and visit them in their graves?
Answer:
Allah knows best. Some scholars have mentioned that they sense this and are aware of this matter. However, I have not found anything in the Sunnah that indicates this, so Allah knows best. It is prescribed for us to visit them and make du'a' for them at the graves, in our homes, and in every place. We make du'a' for the dead because we seek mercy for the Muslims, and this benefits them. Giving much charity on their behalf also benefits them. As for whether they sense the visitor and know who the visitor is, Allah knows best. I do not know of anything clear that indicates this.
