The time of questioning the deceased in the grave if the period before burial is prolonged
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is well known that the servant is questioned in his grave, but if the period between his death and his burial is prolonged, in what state is he questioned? Is it before the burial?
Answer:
They say that the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) begins from his death. If wild beasts eat him, or birds eat him, or he is thrown into the sea, or he is torn apart, the two angels come to him and question him, whether he is in the earth, in the air, or in the bellies of birds or wild beasts. They come to him and question him, and Allah is capable of all things.
