The Life of the Dead Person in the Grave and the Time of the Questioning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of the questions, the questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, how is the life of the dead person when he is placed in his grave? And when is he asked the questions concerning his religion and his worship?

Answer:
Yes, his soul is returned to his body, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us. The two angels make him sit and question him immediately when he is placed in his grave, once they have buried him, leveled the earth over him, and then returned to their homes. He hears the sound of their sandals. The two angels come to him, his soul is returned to his body, the two angels come to him, they make him sit, and they question him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
