The ruling on establishing that the deceased knows his visitor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, is it correct that the deceased knows his visitor on Friday morning?
Answer:
I told you yesterday a principle: one does not speak about matters of the grave except based on evidence. If there is evidence that the deceased knows who visits him or hears them, then we accept the evidence. As for what has no evidence, no, we do not establish anything regarding the deceased that is not based on evidence. However, visiting them is something the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to do, so we visit them and make du'a for them. Yes, this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, and do not say that a person is not hearing. I am not one to say that it is not appropriate; this is not right. Yes.
