Is the life of the grave specific to the burial of the deceased, or is it general?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. The woman in the report is the one intended by the place, from the extraction of the soul to the spreading of the body. This is the whole of it.

The Shaykh : Yes, the grave. He asks: Is the intended meaning the specific place where the deceased is buried, or is it broader than that? The answer is that the intended meaning is broader than that. After the soul departs until the Day of Resurrection, all of this is the punishment of the grave. That is, everything between a person’s death and the Hour is the grave. Allah the Exalted said:
and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.وَمِن وَرَائِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:100]
This includes the one thrown into the sea, the one who died on land and was eaten by wild beasts, and everyone.
