Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Tawfiq, says: Honorable Shaykh, I have a question regarding the creed. Does the soul of the deceased return to their family after the death of the person, whether in three days, seven days, or every Friday night, as we have heard this from one of the speakers?
Answer:
The deceased has moved to the Hereafter with their body and their soul, and their soul does not return to their family any more than their body returns to their family. However, a vision may occur; the living person may see the deceased, and they meet and speak. This is the matter of the vision, and the matter of the vision is certainly wondrous. As for in the waking state, neither the soul nor the body returns to this world after it has departed. Yes.
