Hearing the Words of Visitors by the Dead and the Arrival of News from Their Families
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Do the dead hear the words of their visitors? And does news from their families reach them?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to visit the graves, to offer the salam to the dead, and to make du'a' for them. It is not established that they hear from those who visit them, but the Messenger commanded this. If they do hear, it is a hearing other than the hearing of this world; it is a hearing of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection), a hearing of the barzakh, which is among the matters of the Hereafter, and we do not delve into it. Yes.
