Signs of the Death of the Heart

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What are the signs that indicate that the heart has died?

Answer:
If he does not feel anything, does not benefit from an admonition, does not follow guidance, and does not accept advice, then his heart is dead. I told you that no one knows the hearts except Allah, but we infer from the apparent actions.
