Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner asks about the saying of Allah the Exalted regarding Idris, “and We raised him to a high place”: Is Idris still alive?
The Shaykh:
The prophets are not alive in their graves. Idris and the others are alive in their graves, yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
It is a barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) life, not a life like that of this world, no. Therefore, their wives marry others and their wealth is inherited. It is a barzakh life, and no one knows it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
