The ruling on the claim that the soul returns to the jinn before burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: You have heard him say that it returns to the jinn before it falls to the ground, so that they may know who will perform the washing and register it.
Answer:
Allah knows best. We stated the principle in this matter: we do not speak about the affairs of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) and the conditions after death except with evidence. He must provide evidence for this statement; otherwise, we say it is not correct. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned that the soul’s attachment to the body is of five types. The first type is the soul’s attachment to the body in the fetus in the womb of its mother. The soul is breathed into it when it reaches four months, and it comes to life and moves in the womb of its mother. It is inside the organs, in three layers of darkness, and it lives, it lives, glory be to Allah.
It is true that if you answer one and wrap it up tightly, it will be strangled and die. But the fetus in the womb of its mother lives and is not harmed. This is from the wisdom of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. It is from the power of Allah. The soul’s attachment to it in this state is a special attachment.
The second type is its attachment to him after his birth in a state of wakefulness. The third type is its attachment to him while he is in a state of sleep; the soul attaches to the sleeper, meaning, by final agreement, it attaches to him. Therefore, he moves and wakes up. It is not a major death, but a minor death. The fourth type is its attachment to him in the barzakh in the grave, as has passed to you, that his soul is returned to his body, and likewise after that. The punishment of the grave or its bliss is upon the soul and upon the body, upon the soul and upon the body. It has an attachment to the deceased while he is in his grave, but it is a barzakhic attachment, and Allah knows best its manner.
The fifth type is its attachment to him in the Hereafter, and this is the most complete of the types of attachment, such that it does not separate from him forever.
As for the attachment of his son after his death before burial, this requires evidence. Who said this? Yes.
