The ruling on the deceased hearing the salam from his visitors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the correct view regarding the deceased hearing the salam from those who come to visit him? And does the deceased know the condition of his family?
Answer:
This has been reported regarding the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that no one greets him without Allah returning his spirit to him so that he returns the greeting. As for anyone other than the Messenger, I do not know of anything indicating that the deceased hears anything, except what is authentic that he hears the sound of their sandals after burial when they leave. As for anything else, this requires evidence. Because the grave is among the matters of the Hereafter, part of the unseen knowledge that no one knows except Allah, so we do not say anything except what has come with evidence. Yes.
