The ruling on what is narrated about a deceased person who returns to life during the washing of the body
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the brothers has insisted to me up to now with a hadith, and going back to the narrator, he said that a man died and stayed in the hospital refrigerator for a full day. When they were washing him, he said he stood up and asked those washing him, "What are you doing to him?" That is what he said, so I do not know.
The Shaykh:
We have not heard this, so if you find it objectionable
Another questioner:
in a country.
The Shaykh:
Who is this?
Another questioner:
I was in previous years, and there was a dispute between me and one of the brothers, and I mean it is settled, I mean
The Shaykh:
they put him in the grave, then it becomes clear that he is alive, and they take him out of the grave.
Another questioner:
Come on, Shaykh, let's go back and return to him.
The Shaykh:
No, what do you mean, what do you mean? He may be placed on the bier, then it becomes clear that he is alive, and then he is returned to his treatment and his home. He may be placed in the grave, then it becomes clear that he is alive, and he comes out. This is a reality; it has happened once. He is in a state of panic, he is struck by fainting, his movements cease, and he is thought to be dead. Then his movements appear on the bier, or at the grave, or after being put into the grave, or during the washing. They return him to his home, and Allah writes for him whatever He wills of life, and he dies.
