Audio Tapes of the Tormented in the Graves

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Recently, some tapes have been released containing sounds that are claimed to be the voices of people being tormented in their graves. They cited the opinion of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah as evidence for this, stating that Allah, Glorified and Exalted, may allow some of His creation to witness the torment of the grave.

Answer:
There is no doubt that some people may see the torment of the grave. They see fire coming out of the grave, and they hear the voice of the deceased. There is no doubt that this happens. Read the book *Ahwal al-Qubur* (The Terrors of the Graves) by al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab and see the amazing things in it. There is no harm in the living feeling the torment of the grave, seeing its signs, and witnessing it, God forbid, for the sake of warning and reminding. As for the tapes that claim this is recorded inside the grave by someone who enters the grave, or inside the graves, that is a myth and a lie. Yes.
