Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people claim that the dead come to them in dreams to inform them of what is happening in their home while they are absent, and that they come to them in dreams to thank them if they do a good deed for them. Do they know this and inform the living person of it?
The Shaykh:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
To inform them.
The questioner:
To inform them of what is happening in their home while they are absent, and that they come to them in dreams to thank them if he does a good deed for them.
The Shaykh:
These are not the dead; rather, these are the Shayatins (devils), as has been mentioned to you before. Yes, they come to him in his sleep, or even he sees them while awake, and they say, "I am so-and-so," and all of this is a lie. These are the Shayatins. The dead cannot come back to return to this world. The dead person does not come with shirk (associating partners with Allah); he commands shirk while he is dead, forever. Yes. Allah.
The questioner:
Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Allah
The Shaykh:
